About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the College of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Fudan University, where I am co-advised by Prof. Cheng Jin and Prof. Weizhong Zhang. Prior to joining Fudan, I earned my Master’s degree from the School of Computer Engineering and Science at Shanghai University, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaoqiang Li and Prof. Weiqin Tong.

My current research focuses on efficient inference for diffusion and video generative models, including cache reuse and KV-cache selection. Previously, I worked on data attribution and sample selection, with a particular focus on reliable influence estimation, and earlier on robust learning under noisy supervision. My work has been published at ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR, AAAI, and ECCV. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in my work or want to collaborate on research projects.
