RESEARCH JOURNEY / CONTINUITY

How the questions
became a research direction.

This is not only a chronology of institutions. It is the progression from visual modeling to multimodal perception, efficient representation, and on-device agents.

2020–2022

Foundations

Artificial intelligence and visual modeling

Built foundations in AI, mathematical modeling, and research practice during undergraduate study at DLUT.

  • B.Eng. in Artificial Intelligence
  • National mathematical modeling first prize
2023

First research direction

Object re-identification in real environments

Moved from general computer vision toward identity modeling, smart-city settings, and research communication.

  • CVPR Smart City Challenge
  • Rethinking Object ReID talk at NCCA
2024

Multimodal perception

Identity across RGB, NIR, TIR, and tokens

Developed a systematic multimodal ReID direction through token permutation and diverse token selection.

  • TOP-ReID · AAAI 2024
  • Magic Tokens · CVPR 2024
2025

Efficient representation

Language priors, expert routing, and Mamba

Expanded multimodal perception toward vision-language semantics and efficient long-sequence representation.

  • IDEA · CVPR 2025
  • DeMo and MambaPro · AAAI 2025
  • Research internship · NUS LV Lab
Current

PhD year 1 · Information & Communication Engineering

A connected program in multimodal intelligence

Started the first year of my PhD at the School of Information and Communication Engineering, bringing multimodal perception, efficient models, and reliable on-device agents into one research program.

  • PhD Year 1 · DLUT Information & Communication Engineering
  • ERA · Efficient multimodal models
  • OPPO Y-Lab collaboration
  • 2.5× TTFT improvement
Future

Research vision

Reliable cloud–edge agent systems

Toward agents that coordinate multimodal perception, memory, reasoning, and action across device and cloud.

  • Adaptive computation
  • Long-horizon decision-making
