Biography
My research spans machine learning theory, algorithms, and models. Technically, I study transfer learning, ensemble learning, and multimodal learning. I am also familiar with signal processing techniques, modern large language models and vision-language models (LLMs/VLMs).
For applications, I am particularly interested in brain decoding for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). For the long-term goal, I aim at multimodal human-computer interaction systems for future generations.
