I am a Ph.D. student in the College of Computer Science at Sichuan University, advised by Prof.Xi Peng.

My research mainly focuses on Multi-modal Learning, with contributions in:

• i) Robust Multi-modal Learning: I have worked extensively on tackling challenges such as modality missing (CVPR’21, TPAMI’22, AAAI’24-25) and noisy correspondence (ICCV’23, ICLR’24, NeurIPS’24) in image/video-text and image-image data. For a comprehensive overview of our work and insights on noisy correspondence, you can explore our repository Noisy Correspondence Summary.
• ii) Interactive Multi-modal Learning: I believe the future of multi-modal learning to center around interactions—between users, tools, and external knowledge. Some of my recent work is currently under review.
• iii) Bioinformatics: My work in this domain focuses on single-cell and multi-omics analysis, tackling key challenges such as representative cell selection (Nature Communications’25) and batch effect correction (TNNLS’23).

I am currently seeking postdoctoral opportunities. If you have any advice or are interested in exploring academic collaborations, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to your insights and suggestions.
