About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Individualized Interdisciplinary Program (AI for Multimedia) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Yunya Song and Prof. Anyi Rao. My research spans efficient generative language models, multimodal reasoning and generation, and trustworthy AI agents. I am particularly interested in diffusion and linear-time language models, financial AI and social computing, and AI security topics such as LLM watermarking and linguistic steganography. Before starting my Ph.D., I was an AI Researcher at Huawei's Singapore Research Center, where I worked on large language models.
