ABOUT ME
Hi! I am currently a master's student at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Zhi Wang. Before that, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from Huazhong Agricultural University in 2025. I am fortunate to be a member of the "LLM Agents & Embodied VLA" group, a small but vibrant research team made up of young, enthusiastic, and deeply committed people. Working alongside them is both a joy and an honor.
RECENT NEWS
-
[2026] New! Our work GeoMIND on spatial understanding in robotic manipulation has been accepted by NeurIPS 2026!
-
[2026/09] New! Our work Seek Before You Move on evidence seeking for vision-language navigation is available as a preprint.
-
[2026/06] New! Our work DeCoPatch on GUI grounding has been accepted to ECCV 2026! It reveals causal latent subspaces in VLMs and improves GUI grounding through decode-time causal intervention.
-
[2026/01] New! Our first work MobileGen on GUI Agent is available now! It adaptively synthesizes high-quality GUI trajectories by aligning task difficulty with the agent's capability frontier.
-
[2025/12] New! We are pleased to release our latest work Trailblazer, which positions LLMs as generalists and has been online validated through Douyin (Chinese TikTok).
-
[2025/09] New! Our first work CoBel-World on LLM multi-agent systems is available now! It introduces belief modeling for LLMs to reason like human collaborators!
RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests are multimodal understanding and large language model agents, particularly visual grounding, embodied navigation, and GUI interaction.
