About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Washington. Previously, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from the School of the Gifted Young, University of Science and Technology of China in June 2023. My research interest is generally in Computer Vision and Language Models, with focus on biomedical image analysis and 3D. I also have some previous experience in Theoretical Computer Science.
