About me

I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China, advised by Prof. Zhiwu Lu fortunately. Before that, I received my B.E. from the School of Software, Dalian University of Technology.

My research interests include large multimodal models, multimodal role-playing agents, and multi-task learning. Through my research, I aim to enhance the multi-task capabilities of large multimodal models and apply multimodal role-playing in mental health.
