What I work on

Research areas

01 Few-shot learning

Learning from limited examples

Compositional prototypes and adaptive fusion for transferring reusable component representations to novel visual classes.

Compositional Prototypical Networks
02 Cross-domain composition

Training-based image composition

Style-transfer regularization and collage priors for high-quality image composition across diverse visual domains.

StyleCom
03 Generative-model optimization

Reinforcement learning for image generation

Tree-based trajectories and multi-group advantage estimation for optimizing text-to-image models with multiple rewards.

Multi-GRPO
04 Multimodal reasoning

Reliable video reasoning

Teacher-supervised consistency rewards for video reasoning under spatial and temporal degradation.

Video-Aligner

Research in practice

I am a direct-entry PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. My work spans few-shot learning, reliable video reasoning, text-to-image generation, cross-domain image composition, and efficient video generation.

Across research internships at Alibaba Cloud and Youku, and algorithm internships at RightBrainAI and Megvii, I have worked on problems ranging from multimodal reinforcement learning to controllable video generation. I enjoy turning open-ended research questions into reproducible experiments and practical systems. I expect to complete my PhD in June 2027.
