I am a first-year PhD at Cornell University(enrolled in 2026 summer) supervised by Prof. Yifan Peng, focusing on Unified Models & World Models & Post-Training Methods. Before that, I Graduated from Beijing University of Technology (B.Eng in Artificial Intelligence).

I am also conducting computer vision research at Johns Hopkins University with Bloomberg Distinguished Prof. Alan Yuille. Previously at Peking University supervised by Prof. Wentao Zhang. I also worked at HKU promoting CT-free scoliosis treatment. I conduct impact-driven research with a primary focus on specific topics:

• Modeling the World: To study how models can better perceive and simulate complex environments.
• Unified Models: Designing unified architectures that serve as better learning architectures (ideally).

I love postmodernism and wasteland punk-style photography, and I wish to be a great photographer someday.
