About me

I am a Ph.D. student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a Research Intern at Shanghai AI Laboratory.

My research focuses on LMM pre-training and post-training for visual quality assessment and LLM/LMM evaluation.

I am also interested in evaluating AI-generated visual content and understanding human perceptual and emotional responses to images.

I am currently seeking research internship opportunities. Please feel free to connect with me if you are interested in my research or would like to explore potential collaborations.

How can we build multimodal models that understand visual quality as well as they understand visual content?
