Hi, I'm Haoquan, a fresh phd student studying at SphereLab, CUHK, advised by Weiyang Liu. I am also a visiting student at Westlake University, advised by Yandong Wen. Previously, I spend wonderful time in Shanghai, where I was an intern at Shanghai AI Lab, mentored by Kaipeng Zhang.

My research interests lie in MLLM, specifically about topics around "Structural Visual Synthesis" and "Thinking with Image". In addition to my primary research, I'm also fascinated by the interpretability and CogSci. My long-term goal is to understand the emergent behavior of intelligence of large models and realize compositional reasoning of large models.
