Biography I am currently a 3rd-Year Master student at Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University, under the guidance of Chun Yuan. I got my B.Eng. degree at school of Astronautics, Beihang University. I interned at Bytedance's AI Lab (adviced by Zhe Li) and IDEA (adviced by Ailing Zeng and Yu Li). Currently, my research topic is video generation and model compression, with a particular focus on knowledge distillation. I devote to improve various models' performance for various tasks, including cv, language, understanding, generation and so on. I am an algorithm engineer at WeChat, Tencent (Shenzhen, China) since 2024.
