About
I am an undergraduate student in the School of Software, Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), expected to graduate in June 2026. I am currently working under the guidance of Prof. Dian Shao at the Unmanned Systems Research Institute, NPU.
My research focuses on embodied intelligence, UAV vision-language navigation, UAV 3D spatial understanding, and intelligent video understanding. I am passionate about applying AI algorithms to unmanned aerial vehicles and exploring cognitive intelligence in embodied AI systems.
I have published papers at top-tier conferences including AAAI 2026, and have been actively involved in research projects at the National Key Laboratory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Technology.
