I am currently a junior student at Xu Teli College, Beijing Institute of Technology (北京理工大学特立书院), majoring in the Elite Class of Computer Science (计算机科学拔尖班), advised by Chengliang Chai (柴成亮). I also collaborate with Kunpeng Ning (宁鲲鹏) and Jiayu Yao (姚佳雨) from Peking University closely.
I won the 2025 Sensetime Scholarship (30 candidates nationwide each year) and 2024 National Scholarship (top 10 students in the college). My research project was selected for the “Qi Yan” Program for Undergraduates from the Beijing Natural Science Foundation (one of the top 8 projects selected college-wide).
My research interest includes ai4data, ai agents and multimodal large language models. I have published 3 papers 
I am now working at Chatexcel 
, leading the research on RAG and unstructured data retrieval. I am also a researcher at Edit Banana, where I lead the development of img2svg technology. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at zephyrzhong248@gmail.com.
