I’m a 3rd-year direct Ph.D. student of artificial intelligence at Xi’an Jiaotong University, advised by Prof. Badong Chen. I am currently serving as a visiting student at the MiLab at Westlake University, advised by Prof. Donglin Wang. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from School of autamation in Chongqing University in 2022.

🔭 My research interests lie in generalization in computer vision and vision-language models. I’m also currently learning robotics, including generalization in robot learning and vision language action models.

✉️ Welcome to contact me for any discussion and cooperation!

💻 I am actively seeking academic and industrial exchange opportunities for Fall 2025, specifically focusing on joint Ph.D. programs and internship projects. I would greatly appreciate any information regarding potential opportunities that match my research interests and career aspirations.
