About Me
I’m a Ph.D. student (2023-) in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Michigan State University (MSU), advised by Prof. Yu Kong in the ACTION Lab. Previously, I received my Master’s and Bachelor’s degree from the School of Information and Communication Engineering, Communication University of China (CUC), under the guidance of Prof. Xiaoyu Wu at the State Key Laboratory of Media Convergence and Communication (MCC).
I am engaged in research in Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML), particularly in the area of vision-language perception and generation. My ultimate research goal is to enable intelligent systems to perceive, reason, and predict in complex visual environments. Specifically, my current research interests lie in:
- Controllable Video Generation: Developing controllable text/image-to-video frameworks, with interests in test-time optimization and compositional generation.
- Generative World Modeling: Scaling generative models to follow interactive instructions and integrate structured human knowledge for better prediction.
- Video Understanding & Reasoning: Leveraging foundations in action recognition and temporal grounding to interpret long-range event dynamics.
I am open to any communication and collaboration. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested!
