About Me

Hi there! I’m a researcher at Tongyi Lab, Alibaba Group. Before joining Alibaba, I was a research associate working with Prof.Tinne Tuytelaars at KU Leuven. My research interests lie in Multimodal Foundation Models, Vision and Language, Generative Models and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning Methods. Feel free to contact me for questions and collaborations.

I got my PhD on March 13, 2025. During my PhD at KU Leuven, I was advised by Prof.Marie-Francine Moens and Prof.Tinne Tuytelaars. Before my PhD, I obtained my MSc. in Artificial Intelligence (2020) and Statistics (2019) from KU Leuven, and my BSc. in Applied Mathematics (2017) from Hebei University.
