About me

I am Kaixin LI, a PhD student at National University of Singapore, under supervision of Prof. HUANG Zhiyong. I am deeply interested in autonomous agents, code generation and multimodality.

I am now working as a research intern at Qwen AI logo Qwen supervised by Binyuan Hui, building Qwen-Coder and Qwen-VL.

Prior to this, I am lucky to have worked with Prof. Tat-Seng Chua, Prof. Michael Qizhe Shieh and Prof. Junxian He.
