About Me

I am an undergraduate student majoring in Artificial Intelligence at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I am expected to graduate in June 2026.

My research interests primarily lie in Multimodal Large Models, Out-of-Distribution (OoD) Detection, and AI Agents. I am passionate about building robust and intelligent systems that can reason and generalize in complex environments.
