I am a third-year undergraduate at USTC, currently a research intern with Prof. Jiajun Wu at Stanford University. Previously, I interned at ByteDance, MIT HAN Lab, and Tencent. I explore visual generation and am actively seeking Fall 2027 PhD opportunities.

🎯 Research Interests

Visual Generation: Image Generation, Video Generation, World Models, Efficient Visual Generation.

🔍 Goal

Making visual generation controllable as well as impressive. I study how to translate human intent into visual content faithfully, efficiently, and at scale.

✨ Behind the Work

This was my first complete research project. Ten days after releasing it on GitHub, Stand-In gained over 500 stars, and my work was accepted by the community. During that period, I almost refreshed the star count every day whenever I had free time, actively responded to issues, and improved the project as planned. Later, when the tide receded, everything almost returned to normal—except that I kept working hard: maintaining the project and preparing for the next, more solid one.
