About Me

I am currently working at Huawei 2012 Laboratories, Central Media Technology Institute, where I mainly focus on AI Infra, video understanding, and Xiaoyi Agent. Before that, I completed my master’s degree in the College of Computer Science at Nankai University, supervised by Prof. Jufeng Yang in the Computer Vision Lab. I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Sichuan University in 2022.

During my graduate study, I was also fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Deng-Ping Fan of Nankai University and Peng Xu of Tsinghua University.

My current research interests center on agents, video understanding, and multimodal intelligence. More recently, I have become particularly interested in building systems that connect foundation models with practical reasoning, interaction, and real-world media understanding. Camouflaged visual perception has also been a research direction I invested in continuously in earlier years, and I still keep an eye on it.
