About me

I received my Ph.D. degree (advised by Prof. Song Wu) from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2023 and was a visiting Ph.D. student (advised by Prof. Song Jiang) at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) during 2018-2019.
I am currently a research scientist with the AI Research Institute, Hithink RoyalFlush, China, and a researcher with the School of Smart Education, Jiangsu Normal University, China.
I focus on using AI to solve practical problems. My main research interests include Large Language Model of NLP and Recommendation Systems. Also, I do some research of CV, such as medical image.
