About Me

I am a product-oriented AI reserach engineer with expertise in data-efficient learning, domain adaptation, video understanding, vision-language langauge model, and multimodal agent. While working in industry, I have published academic papers and received awards at top-tier conferences, including MICCAI, CVPR, WACV, and ICIP. As AI technology continues to evolve and remains fluid, I aspire to be an AI engineer who embraces a research-oriented mindset—exploring new methods and rigorously analyzing performance—while simultaneously employing systematic engineering practices to ensure stability and optimization.
