Biography

I'm a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science, Universy College London (UCL), advised by Prof. Jun Wang. Before that, I received my M.Phil's degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and my Bachelor's degree from Xiamen University.

My current research interests include Large Language Models (LLMs) and Computer Vision, with a particular focus on methodologies aimed at enhancing the visual reasoning capabilities of Multimodal LLMs and the development of Multimodal LLM-based agents.

Research Topics: Multimodal LLMs, LLM Agents, 2D/3D Computer Vision + LLMs, LLM Applications

I am always open to research collaborations! Whether you'd like to talk about my work or explore potential partnerships, feel free to reach out.
