Hi, I am currently a second-year PH.D. student at Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Peking University (PKU), supervised by Prof. Meng Li. Pior to that, I received the B.S. degree from Peking University (PKU) in 2024, supervised by Prof. Meng Li. My current research interests primarily focus on the Efficient Embodied AI Algorithm & System, Efficient LLM Inference, and Edge Computing.
My resume is available here: [EN] 😊 Kind tip: the resume may not always reflect the latest updates; this homepage contains the most recent information.
