I am currently a final year PhD candidate funded by the University of Manchester, supervised by Prof. Chenghua Lin. Currently an intern at IQuest Research, UbiQuant for building Coding LLM & Agent from scratch. Initiated the Multimodal Art Projection (M-A-P) research community, which aims to drive open-source academia-level research to cutting-edge level as the industry. I’ve collaborated with Dr. Jie Fu and had a lot fun.

I am on the job market now for research scientist/engineer positions!

Research

My current research focus involves:

• Building generalizable and scalable agents (IQuest-Coder-V1).
• Reinforcement Learning for LLM (TreePO).
• Latent & looped models.

Before that, some of my research interests involve:

• Synthetic Data for Vision-Language Model (MAmmoTH-VL),
• LM Evaluation (Encyclo-K, SuperGPQA)
• Music modelling, built the universal understanding (MERT) and generative model (YuE) for music .

More recent and detailed topics can be referred to my publication pages.
