My research explores two complementary directions: multimodal large language models (focusing on representation learning and interactive reasoning) and brain-inspired intelligence (with emphasis on spiking neural networks and efficient learning algorithms). I aim to advance efficient, generalizable, and biologically plausible AI systems through both theoretical innovation and practical deployment.
