I am a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science at University of Southern California, advised by Professor Xuezhe Ma. Previously, I got my MS degree from Johns Hopkins University, advised by Benjamin Van Durme and Jerry L. Prince.
Currently I mostly engage in LLM pre-training, Multimodal generation and Long-context modeling. I'm also deeply interested in scaling up efficient transformer architecture in unified foundation models, and image/video generation models. Additionally, Iβd like to explore learning structured world model from and for reasoning agent.
