About me

I am currently a CS PhD Student in AIRS Lab from Stony Brook University, advised by Prof. Yi Liu.

My research interests include probabilistic generative models, geometric learning, and multimodal/graph learning.

Summer 2026: I’m seeking an internship. Please feel free to send me the email for a chat.
