I am a third-year Ph.D. student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Pheng-Ann Heng and Prof. Chi-Wing Fu. My research focuses on multimodal agents and video reasoning: building foundation models that can see, hear, reason, and act.
Before CUHK, I worked at Tencent AI Lab on RL-based game agents, designing reward strategies for diverse playstyles. During my Ph.D., I interned at Alibaba Qwen, building agentic RL frameworks, algorithms, and data pipelines for omni-modal reasoning in foundation models. I will soon join ByteDance in San Jose, CA, as a research scientist intern. I hold an M.Sc. in Big Data Technology from HKUST and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Computer Science and Technology from Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University.
My long-term goal is to build multimodal agents that understand the world as it unfolds. I see video, naturally coupled with audio, as the bridge from multimodal perception to agentic interaction in open-ended environments.
Outside the lab, I keep a steady routine around basketball, tennis, and regular gym workouts.
