👋 Hi! I am Siteng Huang (黄思腾 in Chinese). I work at DAMO Academy as an Algorithm Expert in Hangzhou. I received my Ph.D. degree from Zhejiang University in June 2024, affiliated with a joint program with Westlake University at Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MiLAB) and advised by Prof. Donglin Wang. Before that, I received my B.Eng. Degree from School of Computer Science, Wuhan University in June 2019.

🔬 My research has centered on the perception, understanding, reasoning, and generation of multimodal (images, videos, language, dynamics, etc.) data from both Internet and the physical world. I also focus on improving the efficiency of building multimodal applications (in terms of data, training time, parameters, memory, etc.). I have published 20+ papers on the above topics at the top international AI conferences. Recently, I devote myself to the development of multi-modal generative and unified foundation models.

🌟 I am honored to have supervised several self-motivated visiting students and research assistants in their research and publications. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at siteng.huang[AT]gmail.com (replace [AT] with @). Additionly, I maintain close cooperation with MiLAB from Westlake University, which is actively looking for visiting students and RAs (please refer to Recruitment). Specially, if you are willing to cooperate with me there, please also send me a copy when sending your CV to the lab.
