Biography
I work as an AI Research Scientist at Skywork AI under the direction of Shuicheng Yan. I am pursuing my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Jiashi Feng and Bryan Hooi. I received my master's degree from South China University of Technology, where I collaborated closely with Mingkui Tan and Peilin Zhao.
My research lies in generalizable machine learning against shifting data distributions, and advancing the reuse of foundation models (e.g., generative models, multi-modality models) in real-world applications. My dedication has led to publications in NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, KDD, IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TIP, etc. In recognition of my achievements, I have been honored with Google PhD Fellow, DAAD AInet Fellow, and NUS Dean's Graduate Research Excellence Award.
