About Me

Hello! I am a First-Year Machine Learning PhD student at MBZUAI under the supervision of Prof. Zhiqiang Shen. I am also closely working with my friend Xiaofu Chen. Previously, I received my Bachelor’s degree from Technical University of Denmark supervised by Prof. Dim P. Papadopoulos. My research interests span in :

• Multimodal Foundation Model: Developing native multimodal foundation models which can perform both understanding and generation tasks from video,language. (My Long-Term never changed research interest and belief)
• Efficient deep learning: I am interested in how to train or inference large models more efficiently, especially tackling the sparsity nature of nerual networks. (Support the first goal)
• Multimodal Agents: Innovate easy to use Multimodal Agents to automate complicated real-world complex tasks. (Application of the first goal)
