Biography
I’m a first-year master student from IGCS Lab of Sun Yat-sen University under the supervision of Prof. Zheng. I also spent some time at the HPGC research group of Tsinghua University as a visiting student, supervised by Prof. Fu. During my undergraduate studies, I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Peng. My current research interest includes:
- Transfer Learning for Vision Models
- Test-Time Adaptation: AMROD (under review), LSCD-TTA (JAG ‘25), TTA-FedDG (AAAI ‘25), CTUA (under review).
- Parameters-Efficient Fine-Tuning: ClimatePEFT (under review).
- Domain Generalization: TTA-FedDG (AAAI ‘25), AABAW (ICME ‘25).
- Federated Learning: TTA-FedDG (AAAI ‘25), AABAW (ICME ‘25), SPFL (under review).
- Spatio-Temporal Modeling
- Weather and Climate: ClimatePEFT (under review), ResCast (under review), TianQuan-Climate (under review).
- Remote Sensing: $A^2$-MAE (under review), LSCD-TTA (JAG ‘25).
