- I am the founding director of Celia Large Model Application Lab @HKRC, leading a team of 50+ talented researchers and engineers. Our mission bridges cutting-edge AI research with real-world smart-device applications, spanning Large Language Models (LLMs), multimodal intelligence (vision, audio, omni, etc.), AI agents, and embodied AI. We are always looking for passionate researchers, engineers, and interns to join our team.
- Before that, I was a senior researcher at SenseTime Group where I investigated on-device multi-modal models including vision language models (VLMs) and diffusion models (DMs).
- I hold a PhD from MMLab, CUHK, supervised by Prof. Xiaogang Wang and Prof. Hongsheng Li.
