Welcome to my homepage!

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hanghang Tong. Prior to this, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Tsinghua University.

My research interests include Multi-modal Learning, Efficient Deep Learning, and Large Language Models.
