About

I studied at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Southeast University (2022–2026). I am an M.S. student at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Sep. 2026–), advised by Prof. Rui Zhang.

I was an Algorithm Intern at 4Paradigm from Nov. 2025 to May 2026, working on RAG and intelligent question answering.

My research interests include AI Agents, Multimodal Learning, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
