              大家好，我将于2025年秋入职莱斯大学 (<a href="https://csweb.rice.edu/">Rice University</a>) 担任计算机系助理教授。现在在 Meta FAIR 实验室做 postdoc。
              <br>
              <br>
              我于2019年本科毕业于北大信科 (<a href="https://eecs.pku.edu.cn">PKU EECS</a>)，2024年博士毕业于约翰霍普金斯大学计算机系 (<a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/">JHU CS</a>)，师从<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomberg_Distinguished_Professorships">Bloomberg Distinguished Professor</a> <a href="https://cs.jhu.edu/~ayuille/">Alan L. Yuille</a>.
              博士期间曾长期在 Google DeepMind 和 Meta FAIR 实习。我的研究方向是计算机视觉 CV/ML，长期关注 representation learning 与 self-supervised learning，近期主要关注生成模型与视觉识别、多模态。
              现在我在积极寻找2025年秋季入学的全奖PhD学生～2名，提供全额奖学金。
              欢迎感兴趣的同学申请。截止日期为2025年1月1日。PhD项目无申请费。
