About Me

👋 Greetings! I'm Chenghao David Zhang, a 📚 Ph.D. student at the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China, under the supervision of Prof. Zhicheng Dou. I earned my 🎓 B.E. degree in Software Engineering from the School of Computer Science, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2024. My research focuses on 🌈 multimodal information retrieval and 🌐 large language models. I'm also passionate about 🎮 computer graphics, even though it's not my primary research area.
