About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the CVSSP, University of Surrey, supervised by Dr. Xiatian Zhu. Previously, I received my Master’s degree from National University of Singapore, and my Bachelor’s degree from Northwestern Polytechnical University.

✅ I am actively seeking research intern / visiting student opportunities.

Research

My research explores generative world models that go beyond visual prediction to learn structured representations of the physical world, capturing how objects, actions, and environments evolve across space and time.

Alongside this, I study AI for cryptography, exploring how learning-based methods can support cryptanalysis and clarify its implications for computational security.
