About

I am a first-year PhD student at CSE, HKUST, advised by Prof. Song Guo. I am a member of the Pervasive Intelligence Lab.

Prior to this, I graduated from Department of Automation, Tsinghua University (清华大学自动化系) with a bachelor's degree and from the Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Science, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (中科院软件所) with a master's degree, advised by Prof. Bing Su and Prof. Fanjiang Xu. After graduating from UCAS, I worked at Hangzhou Innovation Institute of Beihang University.

My research interest includes multimodal LLM, video understanding, spatial intelligence, video/image enhancement, and time series forecasting. I am maintaining a popular repository of papers on time series forecasting TSFpaper.
