I am a doctoral student majoring in Software Engineering at University College London, co-supervised by Dr. He Ye and Prof. Federica Sarro. I’m currently engaged in research related to deep learning and software engineering. My research interests mainly focus on fields such as computer vision, natural language processing, and the application of AI Agents.
In the past few years, I have focused on developing new deep learning algorithms to solve practical problems, particularly making progress in multi-modal generation. I believe that artificial intelligence technology can bring positive changes to society and am committed to combining theoretical research with practical applications.
My research interest includes multimodal learning, cross-domain transfer and AI for SSE.
