Hello and welcome! I’m currently embracing the exciting world of artificial intelligence as a Research Scientist at Salesforce AI Research. My journey is driven by a deep passion for Generative AI and Multi-modal Learning, with a focus on developing Video/Image to Text (Understanding) and Text to Video/Image (Generation) techniques.
In 2023, I earned my Ph.D. from Northeastern University in Boston, USA. My research during this period was primarily centered around the realms of Transfer Learning and Efficient AI, where I delved into complex problems and innovative solutions.
Before my Ph.D. journey, I obtained my B.E. degree from Xidian University in Xi’an, China, in 2018. This foundation laid the groundwork for my ongoing pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
