Hi there 👋,I am a second-year CS PhD student at the University of Notre Dame. I am fortunate to have Professor Xiangliang Zhang as my advisor and grateful for the guidance of Professor Yapeng Tian and Professor Minhao Cheng .

My research interests include multimodal learning, focusing on leveraging multimodal data (e.g., language, vision, and audio) to interact with the physical world.
