Hi, I'm Haotian Sun.

Ph.D. Student in ML at Georgia Tech🐝
haotian (dot) sun [at] gatech (dot) edu
I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in Machine Leaning at Georgia Institute of Technology, co-advised by Dr. Bo Dai and Dr. Chao Zhang. I am also fortunate to work closely with Dr. Nan Du.
My research focuses on advancing multi-modal foundation models, with a core emphasis on developing scalable, adaptive, and highly personalized generative models.
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional researchers, developers, and scientists while working at Georgia Tech, CentraleSupélec, and Xi'an Jiaotong University.
