About Me 👋

I am currently a Research Engineer at AMAP, Alibaba Inc, working on Video Generation. I hold an M.S. degree from Cyberspace Security Lab at Zhejiang University. During my time there, I had the privilege of being mentored by Professor Zhongjie Ba. My academic journey has been enriched by diverse experiences, including an internship at Microsoft Research under the expert guidance of Shuang Ma, as well as an internship in Professor Anima Anandkumar's group, where I had the privilege of receiving valuable support from Professor Anima Anandkumar, Julius Berner and Professor Chaowei Xiao.
