Biography

I am a Ph.D. student at MMLab, University of Hong Kong, starting from November 2025, supervised by Prof. Xihui Liu. Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree in EE from Beijing Jiaotong University (2021-2025). My research interests lie in machine learning, with a particular focus on how to build visual intelligence via representation and self-evolution.
