About Me

Welcome! I am currently a Junior student majoring in Computer Science at ShanghaiTech University(上海科技大学). I was also a visiting student at the College of Engineering (COE), UC Berkeley, during the first semester of junior year.

I've been working in the fields of 3D Computer Viison, Time Series, and Structured Representation during my research intern experience over the past two years. My research interests currently mainly lie in ML/DL/RL, Generative Model, Multimodality, Data Mining and Structured Representation.

I name my Github repository "csrookie" because my favorite motto is Steve Jobs': "Stay hungry, stay foolish." In the field of AI research, I will always be a rookie and will never stop learning and exploring with a hungry and foolish heart. I have explored a diverse range of AI sub-fields, including 2D&3D Computer Vision, NLP, Time Series, Multimodality, Interpretability, etc, and I am always eager to explore new frontiers with excitement.

基于目前的学业排名(Top 2%), 我已基本锁定2026届推免资格。 目前正积极寻求计算机专业人工智能领域的课题组,计划攻读直博或学术型硕士学位。
