I am a Ph.D student (2023.09 – ) at Mila and Université de Montréal. Currently, I’m working with Prof. Aishwarya Agrawal in vision-language learning. Before that I obtained my Master's degree in Computer Science from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, China (2020-2023) under the supervision of Prof. Baotian Hu. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (2016-2020). I was a research intern at Alibaba DAMO Academy.
