I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Machine Learning Program and the CSE Department at Georgia Tech (GaTech). My advisor is Prof. Anqi Wu. I obtained my Master’s and B.Eng.’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University majoring in Computer Software Engineering. I also spent time as a research intern at ByteDance and Alibaba.

Research Topics

My Research Interest lies in probabilistic machine learning, with its applications in computational neuroscience. More specifically, my ML research focuses on the intersection of (deep) generative models and sequence modeling. Working with multivariate time-series data, I develop ML algorithms to infer semantically or scientifically meaningful latent structures and dynamics through advanced generative modeling approaches (e.g., disentangled variational auto-encoder, video diffusion models).

I am open to collaborate💡! Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested!

News

Apr 16, 2025 I have been selected as a finalist for the Neuro Next Graduate Research Award.
Jan 06, 2025 I will be a Research Scientist Intern at Meta Reality Labs in New York City for Summer 2025.
Oct 15, 2024 I received the NeurIPS 2024 Scholar Award. Looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver, Canada!
