I am a first-year PhD student majoring in Information Science at the University of Wisconsin Madison, advised by Chaowei Xiao. Previously, I collaborated with Asst. Prof. Lu Chen in the language model group of the XLANCE lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
I love playing basketball 🏀 and table tennis 🏓 in my free time. I am also open to collaborating with people to explore the possibilities of language models in various fields.
My research interests are 1️⃣ Multi-modal Large Language Models~(MLLMs). 2️⃣ End-to-end Autonomous Driving System. 3️⃣ Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) of large-scale Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs).
