I am now a first-year Ph.D Candidate in the School of Artificial Intelligence (SAI), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), fortunate to be advised by Prof. Linfeng Zhang. I am also co-supervised by Prof. Xuming Hu at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Previously, I was a master’s student of ReThinkLab at SJTU, where I was grateful to be mentored by Prof. Junchi Yan. Additionally, I collaborate closely with Prof. Zhuoran Yang at Statistics and Data Science at Yale University.

Research. I explore theory-driven approaches with practical applications in both vision and language. Currently, my primary focus is on Efficient Data Pruning/Selection/Attribution and Synthesis/Distillation. I used to study Explainable AI.

Collaboration. I am open to collaborate and engage in discussions. Should you have any inquiries or are interested in collaborating, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Curriculum Vitae | 中文简历

Short bio. I was born in Hefei, China, a leading city for scientific research. Outside of academia, I have been playing the piano for over a decade. I once had the honor of performing alongside the world-renowned pianist Lang Lang. My favorite composers include Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt. I also have a deep appreciation for R&B and Neo-Soul. During my teenage years, I won several chess championships in Anhui Province, China, under the guidance of Chess Grandmaster Chongsheng Zeng and Chess Master Yongjin Zhou.
