Hi 🤗!

I am currently a master’s student at the University of Science and Technology of China (Sep. 2022 - Jun. 2025), advised by Prof. S. Kevin Zhou. I am fortunate to be a member of Medical Imaging, Robotics, Analytic Computing & Learning (MIRACLE) Lab. Prior to this, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Hefei University of Technology (Sep. 2018 - Jun. 2022).

My recent work focuses on diffusion models for ID-preserving image synthesis and image editing. If you share similar interests, feel free to drop me an email.

My long-term research goal is to develop generative AI systems that possess creativity on par with professional artists and designers.

I enjoy creating beautiful things, such as photography and painting. I am also an illustrator and have over 50,000 followers on Pixiv and DeviantArt.

📣 I am actively seeking for Researcher / Ph.D. opportunities. Please check out my resume here.
