About Me

Hello👋! Since September 2025, I am a Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), fortunate to be supervised by Dr. Dong Gong, Prof. Erik Meijering, and Prof. Lina Yao. Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering and M.Eng. degree in Artificial Intelligence from Shandong University (SDU) in 2021 and 2024, respectively. For my master's research, I was luckily advised by Prof. Gongping Yang and as a member of TIME Lab.

Research

My research interests lie in Machine Learning and Computer Vision. Currently, I am interested in Foundation Models, especially efficient training and reasoning of LLMs and MLLMs. Previously, I explored Remote Sensing Image Analysis in depth with a focus on Hyperspectral Image Classification and Pan-sharpening.
