I am the Chief Scientist at SimpleAI, where I lead the pretraining of embodied foundation models. In June 2026, I received my Ph.D. degree in Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) through its joint Ph.D. program with Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA), co-supervised by Prof. Qiang Huo at MSRA and Prof. Jun Du at USTC. My Ph.D. research focused on Document Intelligence (including OCR, document layout analysis, and document understanding) and Large Language Models (including MLLM, Agent, and RAG). Prior to this, I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science from the School of the Gifted Young (a.k.a. 少年班) at USTC in 2021.

During my Ph.D. studies, I gained industry experience through research internships at MSRA, DeepSeek, and the ByteDance Seed team. At DeepSeek, I contributed to the development of DeepSeek-VL2 and DeepSeek-V3. At MSRA, I worked on the Microsoft OneOCR project and the Microsoft Document Intelligence project under the guidance of Qiang Huo and Lei Sun. At ByteDance Seed, I worked on LLM/MLLM agent projects. I have published over 10 papers (Citation: 3200+) at top-tier international AI journals and conferences.

I am currently based in Beijing, China. Please feel free to reach out at jarvisustc@gmail.com.
