About me

I am currently a second-year (2022-now) Master student in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), advised by Prof. Hongtao Xie. I received bachelor's degree in Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU).

I am now a research intern in DAMO Alibaba. Supervised by Xin Li and Lidong Bing.

My recent research interests are multimodal large language models, Unified Understanding and Generation. Before, I mainly focus on the field of scene text recognition and editing, including self-supervised and semi-supervised approaches.
