I am currently a Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Southeast University, under the supervision of Prof. Hao Chen. Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Southeast University in 2025.
My research interests include multimodal learning and explainable AI (xAI). I have published several papers at the top international AI conferences. I will continue striving for academic excellence and impactful research.
