I am a ML Research Scientist @  Apple AI/ML, contributing to Apple Intelligence and Vision Foundation Models. Prior to that, I received my Ph.D. honored with Best PhD Dissertation Award from the University of California, Davis in 2023, advised by Prof. Chen-Nee Chuah, Prof. Sen-Ching Cheung, and Prof. Brittany N. Dugger. I received my bachelor’s degree from Zhejiang University in 2019.

My research interests include Large Language Model, Multimodal Pre-Training, Video Foundation Model, label/data-efficient learning, and AI healthcare.

In my free time, I like to play tennis, hiking and outdoor adventures. I also like to talk to people from various backgrounds and learn different life styles. Feel free to chat with me.
