About Me
I am currently a third-year MS student at Tianjin Key Laboratory of Visual Computing and Intelligent Perception (VCIP, the lab is led by Ming-Ming Cheng), Nankai University, advised by Prof. Yaxing Wang. My research interests lie:
Video Generation & Editing — Committed to pursuing high-quality video generation and editing that is more controllable and interactive, as well as real-time streaming video generation—particularly long-video generation, and ensuring temporal coherence and physical plausibility.
Controllable Image Generation & Editing — building generative models that better align with human preferences for precise, intuitive visual content creation and manipulation.
Unified Understanding & Generation — developing compact, unified models that bridge visual perception and generation in a single framework.
