About Me
I led content generation team for the Qwen App at Alibaba Group, building systems that connect AI agents, image generation, and interactive video generation into a single intelligent creation experience.
My work sits at the intersection of generative models and real-world products. Over the past years I have focused on several closely related topics: controllable diffusion models, subject-driven personalization, human-centric video and talking-avatar generation, visual editing (makeup / hair / garment / font / face), efficient inference, and agentic creation workflows.
Previously, I was Head of AI at Tiamat AI, where I built the full-stack generative pipeline for a virtual-companion app; led a AIGC group at Xiaohongshu to power content creation; and led the GAN team at Baidu on intelligent font production and virtual-human technologies after starting in Baidu IDL's OCR team. Several works have been widely adopted by the open-source community, including LiveAvatar (Hugging Face #1 Paper of the Day, 2k+ GitHub stars) and EasyControl (Hugging Face #1 trending Space).
