个人简介Biography

我目前是 字节跳动 Seed 的资深研究员,主要关注多模态生成,尤其是 R2V 与 Post-Training。代表工作包括 Seedance 2.5 和 Seedance 2.0。

I am currently a Senior Researcher at ByteDance Seed, focusing on multimodal generation, especially R2V and post-training. Representative work includes Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0.

此前,我在字节跳动智能创作实验室从事视频生成与智能创作研究,参与了 Phantom(1.5k★)、HuMo(1.3k★) 和 DreaMontage 等工作。

Previously, I worked in ByteDance's Intelligent Creation Lab on video generation and intelligent creation. I contributed to projects including Phantom (1.5k★), HuMo (1.3k★), and DreaMontage.

我本科毕业于华中科技大学,硕士毕业于中国科学院自动化研究所。2017 年硕士毕业后加入字节跳动 AI Lab,从事视频理解研究;此后参与了一键成片等智能创作能力建设,并支持 剪映 等产品功能。

I received my B.Eng. from HUST and my M.Eng. from CASIA. After graduating in 2017, I joined ByteDance AI Lab to work on video understanding, and later contributed to intelligent-creation features such as one-click video creation for Jianying.
