I am currently a researcher in General Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) group at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). Before that, I recieved my bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from Beihang university in 2019 and 2022, advised by Dr. Ke Xu. During my master's studies, I spent most of my time as a research intern in MSRA, mentored by Dr. Li Dong and Dr. Furu Wei. I'm interested in developing simple yet effective methods to enhance foundation models and explore the science behind them.
