About Me

I am a senior undergraduate student at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, majoring in Information and Computer Science, and will be pursuing graduate studies in Fall 2026. My research interests focus on Multimodal, Audio&Speech, Large Language Models (LLM), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). I like to explore the cutting-edge knowledge of technology, firmly believe that AI will change society and life in the near future, and hope to witness it with like-minded people. I also participated in many club activities in college, which cultivated my leadership and aesthetic abilities, and I was involved in planning multiple events, which enhanced my organizational and planning skills.

More About Me

I have a deep passion for art and cinema, believing that great art can touch people's souls in ways technology alone cannot. My artistic journey includes studying traditional calligraphy and musical instruments, which has given me a profound appreciation for cultural heritage.

I've had the privilege of working in film production as a sound assistant, an experience that allowed me to see how technical skills and artistic vision come together to create something meaningful. These experiences have shaped my perspective on how technology and art can complement each other.

I value deep conversations and enjoy listening to others' thoughts and ideas. These exchanges often inspire me and broaden my understanding of the world. Looking forward, I aspire to make a positive impact on people's lives through my work, whether through technological innovation or artistic expression.
