I am a third-year PhD student at Show Lab, National University of Singapore (NUS), advised by Prof. Mike Shou. Previously, I received my MEng degree at Tsinghua University (THU), under the supervision of Prof. Shu-Tao Xia. And I received my BEng degree at Sichuan University (SCU). My current research interests include Video Generation & Understanding, Visual Editing, Multi-modal Large Language Model, etc. Beyond these topics, I also published several papers regarding multimedia retrieval and visual hashing.
