I am a senior research scientist at Sea AI Lab. I finished my Ph.D. in 2019 at TSAIL Group in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jun Zhu and Prof. Bo Zhang. And I received my B.Eng. from the Yao Class in Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University in 2014.

I work on machine learning. My research goal is to understand what intelligence is and how it arises, and to answer these questions from the view of probability and statistics. I am particularly focused on developing probabilistic methods for generative modeling from first principles, aiming to improve their capacity, interpretability, and controllability.

We are hiring Research Scientist and Research Intern to work on generative models (e.g., diffusion models, LLMs). Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
