Yiyuan Zhang

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Multimedia Lab of The Chinese University of HongKong. I focus on foundation models in multimodal learning and Ai for Science.

Prior to MMLab, I received my B.S. degree from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2023. I worked as a research intern at Megvii (Face++), Alibaba Group, and Shanghai AI Lab.
