About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), advised by Prof. Lizhuang Ma at the Digital Media & Computer Vision Laboratory (DMCV). I am also supervised by Prof. Xin Tan at East China Normal University. I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Chongqing University in 2022.

Since September 2025, I have been an intern at MiniMax, working on M-series model development. My work focuses on GUI agents and spans the full training pipeline, including both pre-training and post-training. I was later selected for MiniMax’s Top Talent Internship Program. Previously, I interned at Tencent Youtu Lab.

My research focuses on multimodal foundation models, including both training and alignment methodologies, with a current emphasis on GUI agents. Recently, I have been working on GUI-capable foundation models, where MiniMax M3 achieved a score of 75.2 on the OSWorld-Verified benchmark. I am also interested in fine-grained visual understanding and open-world learning. I am always open to research discussions and collaborations.

I plan to graduate with a Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2027 and am exploring industry opportunities. If you are interested in my work or have a suitable position, especially in GUI agents or multimodal foundation models, please feel free to contact me.
