👀 About Me

I earned my master’s and bachelor’s degrees from the School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University of Finance and Economics, in June 2023 and June 2020, respectively. My research interests lie broadly in deep learning, information retrieval, etc. Advised by Prof. Zheng Liu, I focused on cross-modal retrieval (e.g., image-text matching) and have published some papers during my master’s degree. In the near future, I may actively seek opportunities to pursue a Ph.D. 😉 Besides, you can download and view my from here.
