I am a master’s student in Computer Science and Technology at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, under the supervision of Prof. Zhuotao Tian. My research focuses on multimodal large language models and multimodal agents. I expect to graduate in June 2027.
I received dual bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and computer science from Shenzhen University in 2023. Previously, I was a Research Intern at Tencent, researching video generation agents. I am currently studying multimodal generation and reinforcement learning. Meanwhile, I am looking for a job opportunity as a multimodal AI engineer.

* Equal contribution.
- DyTok is a two-stage visual token pruning framework, including two synergistic modules: (1) Temporal Importance Estimation leverages cross-modal attention from a lightweight assistant model to identify keyframes, followed by (2) Dynamic Frame-Level Compression that allocates token budgets proportionally to preserve salient content.
