Qihang Peng | 彭启航
I'm a first-year Ph.D. student at MMLab, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Hongsheng Li. My research interests currently center on multimodal pretraining, from architecture design to training dynamics to data analysis. I'm also interested in agentic learning, embodied intelligence, visual generation, and LLM reasoning.
I received my bachelor's degree from Xingjian College, Tsinghua University in 2026. During my undergraduate studies, I did research at LeapLab, Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Gao Huang.
If you're interested in my research, feel free to reach out, I'm always open to discussion and potential collaborations.
