About Me
Design Researcher & AI Developer
Pursuing a dual degree in Design and AI at Tongji University , I explore how Multimodal Large Language Models (LMMs) can redefine human-machine interaction.
From leading the award-winning SynaLumi project to researching haptic feedback for biomimetic robots , I combine rigorous data engineering with empathetic design thinking.
I am passionate about creating "Intelligence by Design"—leveraging AI tools to solve real-world accessibility challenges through teamwork and innovation.
