I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Rutgers University, where I am advised by Prof. Dimitris N. Metaxas. I received my Master’s degree from the Renmin University of China, advised by Prof. Bing Su. My research interests lie in multimodal learning, with a focus on enhancing user alignment and image controllability in generative models. Recently, I’ve been working with autoregressive and diffusion models, particularly in the context of text-to-image generation and preference alignment. You can find my CV here.

🎨 Hobbies

Outside research, I enjoy exploring art, film, and music as ways to understand human creativity from different perspectives. I love hiking in places such as the Great Wall (Beijing, China), Diamond Head State Monument (Honolulu, Hawaii), Crown Point (Portland, Oregon), Taihang Mountain (Henan, China), and Enshi Grand Canyon (Hubei, China). Some of my favorite films include Coraline for its enchanting stop-motion artistry and The Shining for its psychological depth. Musically, I often listen to David Tao, Utada Hikaru, Erik Satie, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. In visual arts, I particularly appreciate the works of Suzanne Valadon, Edward Hopper, Vincent van Gogh, and Caravaggio.
