About Me
I am currently a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Nanjing University, under the supervision of Prof. Furao Shen. Previously, I was a research intern at the Shanghai AI Lab, where I collaborated with Prof. Wanli Ouyang and Dr. Dongzhan Zhou. I was also a visiting scholar at the National University of Singapore, working with Prof. Yang You. I also work closely with Prof. Tongliang Liu at The University of Sydney, Prof. Dong Liu at the University of Science and Technology of China, and Prof. Jian Zhao at Nanjing University.
My primary research focuses on data-centric AI, multimodal learning, and the interpretability of LLMs. At present, most of my work are dedicated to improving the efficiency, scalability, and robustness of large deep learning models by fully unleashing the full potential of data.
