I am a second-year PhD student (2025.8 - now) in the xML Lab at ECE, NUS, advised by Prof. Xinchao Wang. Previously, I received my M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from NUS and my B.E. in Computer Science from Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Research

My research focuses on AI Safety (e.g., data privacy, agent safety) and Multimodal Learning (e.g., vision and language). My recent works explore:

Miscellaneous

When I am not thinking about models, I am fortunate to be supervised by my cat, TunTun (吨吨 in Chinese), who consistently outperforms me in both curiosity and napping efficiency.
