Hi there, I am a second-year computer science Ph.D. student at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), advised by Prof. Jingkuan Song and Prof. Lianli Gao. Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree at Southwest Petroleum University. Then, I began to complete my master’s degree in 2020 at UESTC and transferred to pursue my Ph.D. degree in 2022.

My research interest includes Continual Leanring in Computer Vision. Now the focus of my research is mainly on investigating the behavior of Multimodel Large Language Model in Continual Learning paradigm.
