About

I am currently a Senior Algorithm Expert at Alibaba, ATH, Qwen Business Unit. We focus on cutting-edge technologies in image/video generation and editing, multimodal generation and unified multimodal models. Our algorithm has been integrated into the Qwen App, serving millions of users.

Before joining Alibaba, I was a Senior Researcher at Tencent AI Lab/ARC Lab. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2021, supervised by Prof. Pedro V. Sander. Prior to that, I received my B.E. degree from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2017.

👋 We are actively seeking highly motivated research interns, algorithm engineers, and researchers to join our team working on related topics. Please feel free to reach out via email (xliea@connect.ust.hk) with your CV.
