I’m an incoming Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), under the supervision of Prof. Pheng-Ann Heng. Previously, I have spent wonderful time at Alibaba Tongyi Lab and Tencent YouTu Lab as a research intern. I am also privileged to work closely with Prof. Xiaojiang Peng, Dr. Xiao Luo, and Prof. Yefeng Zheng.
My research interests lie at the intersection of foundation models and their applications in the scientific domain, with an emphasis on:
- Foundation Models: Large Language Models (LLMs)/Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) Post-training and Understanding.
- AI for Science: Scientific Foundation Models, including Life Science and Healthcare.
