I am Tao Zhang (张韬), currently a PhD student at Wuhan University, under the guidance of Prof. Shunping Ji. Additionally, I am currently interning at Seed, ByteDance, where I am advised by Dr. Xiangtai Li and Dr. Jiashi Feng. Prior to this, I completed internships at the Y-Tech Lab of Kuaishou Technology (advised by Xingye Tian) and Skywork AI (advised by Dr. Xiangtai Li and Prof. ShuiCheng YAN). I obtained my master’s degree from Wuhan University under the supervision of Prof. Shunping Ji.

My research interests encompass:

Image and video understanding tasks.
Multi-modal learning with Large Language Models (LLMs).
Remote Sensing.
