Mingxuan Yan

Hi there! I am Mingxuan Yan (pron: Ming-shwen Yen), a first-year PhD student at University of California - Riverside. I am currently a member of TASL under the supervision of Prof. Jiachen Li. Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree at Wuhan University of Technology, following a master’s degree at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

My research interest now lies in improving both data & computing efficiency of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language Agents (VLAs). Previously, I conducted researches on building multimedia encoding/streaming systems for both human and mechine perceptions.
