Short Biography: I received the B.S. degree in Electronic Information Engineering from Sichuan University, China, in 2020, and the M.S. degree in Information Science from Hokkaido University, Japan, in 2023.

I am now a Ph.D. student at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology at Hokkaido University.

My research interests include large language models (LLM)/large multimodal models (LMM), autonomous driving, and multimodal understanding of sports videos (especially soccer videos). My recent focus has been on LLM and LMM, particularly exploring their potential in real-world scenarios such as autonomous driving and video understanding of sports videos. Additionally, I have been a collaborative researcher with Japan Radio Co., Ltd since 2022.06.

I am looking for research collaboration, especially LLM and LMM-related research for autonomous driving and sports videos.

Also, I am open to research internships. Please feel free to send me an email if you are interested!
