Qilong Wu
Hi! I’m currently a researcher at Shanghai AI Lab mentored by Dr. Peng Gao. Previously I was a MSc student at National University of Singapore, and I became extreme passionate about AI since Sep. 2023. And I was luckily advised by Prof. Alan L. Yuille at CCVL@Johns Hopkins University. Previously, I also spent a wonderful time with Prof. Bharadwaj Veeravalli, Prof. Roger Zimmermann@NUS. Prior to that, I received my BSc degree in Physics, focusing on Nonlinear Dynamics & Chaos Theory and Bio-Physics.
My current research interests lie in Reasoning LLMs, Multimodal learning, spanning video, image, action, audio, planning, etc., with a broader focus on Diffusion Models and Physics-Informed learning; Additionally, I am also keen on exploring why these models work and how to make them more interpretable and robust.
