I am a member of technical staff at xAI. I obtained my Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2024, under the supervision of Prof. Yong Jae Lee. During my Ph.D., I’ve been fortunate to work with and have long-term collaboration with Chunyuan Li at Microsoft Research. Before this, I obtained my bachler’s degree (with honor) at Zhejiang University, where I worked with Prof. Xiaogang Jin and Prof. Fei Wu.

I am generally interested in computer vision and machine learning. My recent focus is on building steerable large models. The first babies include LLaVA, Grok-1.5V, and Grok-2.
