I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), working with Prof. Hanwang Zhang in the MReaL Lab. Before that, I received my PhD from the USTC, Lab for Data Science , supervised by Prof. Xiangnan He. My current research focuses on visual generation, especially diffusion models. Previously, I worked on video understanding and representation. I have multiple publications that appear in top-tier conferences and journals including NeurIPS, IJCV, IEEE TIP and ACM MM. Moreover, I have served as the reviewer for ACM MM.
