I am currently a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at Lancaster University, advised by Prof. Jun Liu and Prof. Hossein Rahmani. Prior to joining Lancaster, I received my Bachelor's degree in 2021 and my Master's degree in 2024 from Central South University, where I was supervised by Prof. Yong Wang. I also collaborate closely with Adobe and NVIDIA.

My current research interests lie in LLM agents, AI security, and generative AI. Earlier in my research journey, I worked primarily on vision-language models and few-shot learning. I am always open to research discussions and potential collaborations. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
