About Me

I'm a Master's student at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), advised by Prof. Mingming Gong. I received my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Nankai University in 2024.

My research interests include computer vision, multimodal generation, multimodal LLMs, and AI security.
