About Me

I'm leading model development at Boson AI, founded by Dr. Mu Li and Dr. Alex Smola. We created the Higgs series of LLM and multimodal LLMs, like Higgs-Llama and Higgs-Audio, designed to advance the state of the art in language and audio understanding and generation.

Before that, I was a senior applied scientist at Amazon that leads two projects: AutoGluon Multimodal and DeepEarth. AutoGluon Multimodal goes beyond traditional AutoML tools by leveraging foundation models. DeepEarth builds foundation models for earth. I obtained Ph.D degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2018. My Ph.D supervisor was Prof. Dit-Yan Yeung. I received my B.E. degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2014. I love open source and participated in projects like Apache/MXNet.
