[Google Scholar] [GitHub] [Curriculum Vitae]

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UCLA, under the guidance of Prof. Nanyun (Violet) Peng. I earned my M.S. from the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Prof. Graham Neubig. Prior to that, I obtained my B.S. from the KYM Honors School at Nanjing University.

During my Ph.D., my research has centered on vision-language learning. I have worked on pretraining image-language and video-language models, applying them to perception and embodied tasks. Previously, I focused on natural language processing, particularly in the areas of multilingual learning and text generation.

I am a recipient of the Amazon PhD Fellowship and the J.P. Morgan Chase PhD Fellowship.
