I am a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia, starting from July 2023. Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. & M.Eng. degrees from the School of Information Engineering, Yangzhou University, China (2016-2023), where I ranked 5/201 and was awarded First Prize for Outstanding Dissertation.

My current research focus is Trustworthy Multimodal Representation Learning. I am interested in exploring causal mechanisms behind fairness, bias, and robustness in generative multimodal Recommender Systems.
