I am a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Prof. Yin Li. My research focuses on machine learning and computer vision, with an emphasis on developing highly efficient models that make effective use of data and computational resources.

This summer, I will join Meta in Menlo Park as a Research Scientist Intern, working on MLLMs post-training.
