Biography

I am a Senior Research Scientist at ByteDance (US), working with Chongyang Ma. My work focuses on visual generative foundation models, including Seedance 2.0/2.5, and translating them into applications and products. My research interests span generative AI, computer vision, and deep learning.

During 2023–2025, I worked as a Research Scientist in the Hunyuan Multimodal Foundation Model Team at Tencent, working with Wei Liu and Zhao Zhong on large-scale visual generative foundation models, such as HunyuanVideo, and a range of downstream generation tasks. During 2022–2023, I was a research intern in the Computer Vision Group at Baidu, working with Xinyu Zhang and Jingdong Wang on visual self-supervised pre-training.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Zhejiang University (2019–2024), co-supervised by Professors Kun Kuang, Lanfen Lin, and Fei Wu. I received my B.E. degree in Automation from Jianxing Honors College, Zhejiang University of Technology (2015–2019), supervised by Professor Qi Xuan.
