Profile
I am an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Engineering at
Zhejiang University – University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institute (ZJU-UIUC).
I am currently exploring my academic interests. At this stage, I am particularly curious about embodied intelligence, with a focus on Vision–Language Models (VLMs) and Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models.
In addition to my technical interests, I am also passionate about science communication and content creation, especially in making complex scientific ideas accessible to a broader audience. I was also an Olympiad in Informatics (OI) participant for many years during high school — though I always lost in the competitions.😅
