About Me

I am currently a PhD student at Centre for Digital Music (C4DM), Queen Mary University of London. I am honored to be advised by Prof. Simon Dixon and Dr. Mark Levy. Before that, I was a Research Assistant at the Music X Lab, NYU Shanghai. from 2019 to 2020, supervised by Dr. Gus Xia. I received the Bachelor of Engineering degree (2015-2019) in Computer Science and Technology from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

My research interests include controllable music generations with diffusions and LLMs, and Multimodal representation learning for music editing.

I will join ByteDance as a Senior Research Scientist from Fall 2024.
