Currently, I work in USTC as a Postdoc Research Fellow and work with Zhibo Chen. I have obtained my Ph.D. in MOE-Microsoft Key Laboratory of Multimedia Computing and Communication, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Zhibo Chen. Prior to that, I obtained my B.S. degree in Department of Electronic Engineering and Information Science from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). From Apr. 2021 to Apr. 2022, I was a research intern at Intelligence Media Group of MSRA under the supervision of Cuiling Lan and Wenjun Zeng. I have been a visiting Ph.D. of Learning and Vision (LV) Lab at the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Xinchao Wang. My research interests mainly focus on image/video processing, transfer learning of foundational models, generation, and agent.

[Welcome to join us] We are seeking self-motivated students to join our USTC Intelligent Media Computing Lab for internships, masters, and in-school Ph.D. transfers. We warmly welcome like-minded talents to join us in pioneering the frontiers of intelligent media computing. Our lab is devoted to Generative AI, Visual Compression, Quality Assessment, AI Agents, AI for Science, and Embodied AI. If you are interested, please send email to xin.li@ustc.edu.cn and cc chenzhibo@ustc.edu.cn
