👋 About Me

I am a Researcher at AI for (Earth) Science group, Shanghai AI Laboratory, working with Prof. Lei Bai. Before that, I got my Ph.D. from Beihang University under the supervision of Prof. Shi Zhenwei in Nov. 2025, the head of LEVIR Laboratory.

My research interests lie in Deep Learning and AI for Earth.

If you are interested in the research intern or Joint Training Ph.D. Project at Shanghai AI Lab, feel free to drop me an email. Students with good foundations in the foundation model, earth observation modeling, time series forecasting, and low-level vision are appreciated.
