I am currently a Staff Research Engineer at Apple AI/ML, Foundation Modeling team. Prior to this, I was a Senior Applied Scientist at Amazon. I received my PhD from the University of Maryland in December 2020, where I was advised by Professor Larry Davis. I earned my Bachelor?s degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2015. My research interests lie in LLM/VLM pre-training, post-training, and computer vision.
