I work on generative models,flow matching,embodied AI, andAI systems — recently focusing on training-free test-time compute for flow-matching generators and robotic-arm agent pipelines.

About

I am an undergraduate student at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. My research centers on generative modeling — in particular flow matching, rectification-enhanced autoencoders (RAE), and Diffusion Transformers — and on training-free methods that make inference faster and better without retraining.

On the applied side, I build embodied AI systems: robotic-arm agents that combine RGB-D visual perception with LLM-driven planning, and the inference-serving infrastructure (e.g. SGLang-based deployments) needed to run them. I am broadly interested in HPC and efficient large-model inference, and I enjoy working across the stack from algorithms to systems.
