🏷 About Me

I am a PhD student (Since 2025.10) at Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Eindhoven University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Joaquin Vanschoren. I am also very fortunate to work closely with Dr. Ming Jin at Griffith University.

My long-term research interests include:

  • Multimodal intelligence (beyond vision & language)
  • Spatiotemporal foundation models

If you would like to discuss any details or ideas about these research topics, please feel free to reach out.
