Biography

I am currently a Senior Researcher at Visual Generation Group (a.k.a. Kling Team), Kuaishou Technology.. I got my Ph.D degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and received the B. Eng (honors) degree from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University in 2018.

Recently, I mainly study generative AI (expecially image/video generation) and multi-modal learning.

We are actively looking for interns to work on cutting-edge research topics in video generation and multi-modal learning. Feel free to email me if you are interested.
