I am a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), under the supervision of Jing Liao and Kede Ma. I received my B.S. (2022) degree from East China Normal University.
I am interested in creating creative content with AI. This summer, I am at Adobe Research. I spent a summer (2025) at the University of Cambridge working with Rafal Mantiuk on HDR image and video generation.

I like to listen to the Stardew Valley OST. Occasionally, I play SuperBomb, which I started playing in 2007.
