Research Interests
Visual Frontiers & Generative Models
Building generative systems that matter to real users — from poster creation to generalized artistic generation and self-evolving image-generation agents.
Reward Modeling & Foundation
Designing reward models to align AI outputs with human aesthetic and functional standards, empowering foundation models with professional-grade design capabilities.
Beyond Synthesis: Diffusion Priors
Leveraging diffusion priors for tasks across restoration and perception, bridging the gap between synthesis and visual understanding.
Agents & Unified Reasoning
Advancing reasoning frontiers of unified models and visual understanding via tool-orchestrated agents that retrieve, reference, and self-evolve from visual experience.
