My research focuses on AIGC and image restoration:
(1) Advancing AIGC (AI-Generated Content) technology through various generative paradigms (e.g., Diffusion Models, Auto-Regressive Models, VAR) for intelligent image generation;

(2) Developing robust and generalizable solutions for real-world image restoration, particularly in adverse conditions;

(3) Exploring multimodal large language models (MLLM) for intelligent visual application.
