๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“Professional Profile

๐ŸŽ“ Education and Academic Background

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at VI-Lab, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), under the supervision of Prof. Shijian Lu. I received my B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering and Instrument Science from Zhejiang University in 2021, where I worked under the guidance of Prof. Hong Zhou. Prior to my Ph.D., I completed my Masterโ€™s in Artificial Intelligence at NTU (2021โ€“2022). My research interests primarily focus on vision-language pre-training and foundation model adaptation.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Research Interests

My research revolves around cutting-edge topics in vision-language pre-training and the adaptation of foundation models. I am particularly interested in methods that enable models to transfer knowledge effectively across different domains, such as few-shot learning, cross-domain adaptation, and improving model robustness in complex vision-language tasks.

๐Ÿ† Achievements and News

In recent years, I have been fortunate to have several papers accepted at top-tier conferences. These include NeurIPS 2024, ECCV 2024, CVPR 2024, and NeurIPS 2023, marking significant milestones in my academic journey. Notably, my work on object hallucination mitigation and segmentation adaptation has received considerable attention in the community.

๐Ÿ… Awards and Honors

Throughout my academic journey, I have received various recognitions for my contributions to research. These include the Outstanding Graduate Award from Zhejiang University in 2021, as well as the Academic Excellence Award (2018, 2019) and Academic Progress Award (2019) from the same institution.

๐Ÿ’ป Service and Teaching

As an active member of the academic community, I contribute as a conference reviewer for prominent venues such as CVPR, ICML, ECCV, and NeurIPS 2024, where I was honored to be selected as one of the Top Reviewers at NeurIPS. Additionally, I am involved in teaching and mentoring at NTU. In Spring 2024, I will be assisting with the SC1015: Introduction to Data Science and Artificial Intelligence course.
