About Me
I am currently a first-year PhD student at CogAI4Sci, National University of Singapore, mentored by Prof. Dianbo Liu. Before that, I was mentored by Prof. Xiangyang Ji and Prof. Yi Xu as a reasearch assistant at BNRist, Tsinghua University.
I received my master degree in 2022 from Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, under the supervision of Prof. Xiangyang Ji. My research interests lie in autonomous ML agent (especially for research, i.e. AI Scientist), generative models, and representation learning, where I am fascinated by the possibilities for groundbreaking applications that can truly transform our world.
My previous research has focused on unsupervised segmentation and text-to-motion synthesis, with the aim of reducing human efforts and improving learning efficiency.
