Personal Statement

As a final year undergraduate student at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, I have honed my expertise in Machine Learning, focusing on finding solutions to better adapt pre-trained foundation models into downstream tasks across modalities. My passion has been further validated through my contributions to conference papers at ECAI 2024, where I introduced dynamic multimodal prompt tuning for VLM-guided point cloud models. Currently, I am eager to pursue a Ph.D., seeking opportunities to delve deeper into the cutting-edge world of AI research.

Research Experience

• 3D Intelligent Perception Defense in Autonomous Driving
  Nanjing University of Science and Technology
  January 2023 - April 2024
  Under the guidance of Professor Shuchao Pang, the research involves processing point cloud data obtained from LiDAR using multimodal large models. The study analyzes the deficiencies in existing models, designs improved modules, enhances the performance of point cloud large models under few-shot learning, and improves the model's environmental perception capabilities in autonomous driving scenarios. This work is supported by the National Key Research and Development Program, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Jiangsu Province Autonomous Driving Technology Innovation and Application Engineering Research Center. I served as the first author for the paper at the ECAI 2024 conference, and I contributed as the fourth author for another paper at the PRCV 2024 conference.
