Understanding emotion. Exploring empathetic interaction.

My research interests span affective computing and unified multimodal understanding and generation. I am currently exploring empathetic generation and interaction. I have published 15+ papers. Google Scholar citations

Academic background

I am pursuing a PhD at the Institute for Intelligent Collaborative Computing , University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC, 电子科技大学), under the guidance of Tao He. I also work closely with Dongyang Zhang and Guiduo Duan. I am currently a research intern at Tongji University (同济大学), working with Zheng Lian (连政).

Long-term goal

My long-term goal is to advance machine emotional intelligence. I aim to enable more natural, empathetic, and supportive human–AI interaction.
