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.
