About

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University in 2026, where I was advised by Prof. Jiwen Lu at the i-VisionGroup. I will join Prof. Jiwen Lu's team as a postdoctoral researcher, where I will coordinate two research groups focusing on on-device agents and embodied brain. I received my B.E. degree from the Department of Automation and a second B.A. degree from the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University in 2021. My research aims to build interpretable, efficient, and embodied large-scale intelligent systems.

Research

My current research focuses on the principles, systems, and applications of large-scale intelligent models. In particular, I study how to make large models more interpretable, lightweight, and agentic, with an emphasis on connecting theoretical understanding with practical deployment in multimodal and embodied scenarios.
