I am a first-year PhD student in the EXceL-Lab at the University of Central Florida, advised by Prof. Yuzhang Shang. Previously, I received my bachelor's degree from Central South University. I interned at CUHK MMLab, where I collaborated with Prof. Xiangyu Yue.

I am looking for internship opportunities for Summer 2027. If you have an opportunity available, please feel free to reach out to me.
