Hi there
Welcome to my Homepage!
I am a M.S. student at Shenzhen University, focusing on Embodied AI, World Models, VLA/VLN, and Multimodal Decision-Making. I have research experience in action world models, reinforcement learning, and large model training & fine-tuning.
Feel free to reach out if you are interested in collaboration or potential opportunities.

Projects
SLAW-Nav: Sparse Latent Action World Model for Vision-Language Navigation
2025.09 - Present
Proposed a world model-based counterfactual reasoning framework for VLN, enabling agents to imagine future outcomes around candidate actions. Designed skip-step sparse latent prediction with Qwen2.5-VL, achieving 62.0% SR / 56.0% SPL on R2R-CE.
