Zhihao Xie

I am an undergraduate student at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). I will join the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen) as an incoming PhD student, advised by Prof. Li Jiang. My research interests include visual tokenizers, video generation, unified multimodal understanding and generation, and embodied intelligence.

I have been fortunate to work with Prof. Xiang Bai and Prof. Yuliang Liu at the VLR Lab, and Prof. Wei Wei at the CCIIP Lab at HUST.
