I am a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Jing Liao and Kede Ma. I am interested in making generative models more controllable and editable.
I interned at Adobe Research in summer 2026, working on image vectorization, and visited the University of Cambridge in summer 2025 to work with Rafal Mantiuk on HDR image and video generation. I received my B.S. from East China Normal University in 2022.

I like to listen to the Stardew Valley OST. Occasionally, I play SuperBomb, which I started playing in 2007.
