Welcome to my academic homepage.

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Laboratory (CVPRL), LUT University, Finland. I am supervised by Prof. Heikki Kälviäinen and collaborate closely with Prof. Xin Liu.

I received my M.Sc. and B.Eng. degrees from Tianjin University, China, in 2024 and 2021, respectively.

My research focuses on affective computing, multimodal large language models, and trustworthy Emotion AI.
