PERSONAL ACADEMIC HOMEPAGE

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Technology at Hefei University of Technology, advised by Prof. Le Wu. Previously, I received my master's degree from Anhui University in 2025, advised by Prof. Yiwen Zhang and Assoc. Prof. Lei Sang.

My research focuses on recommender systems and large language models. I study user behavior, intent, and multimodal preferences to build generative recommenders with stronger generalization and reasoning capabilities.
