About Me

Hi, I am Jiancheng Pan, a Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University. My research focuses on computer vision, multimodal learning, multimodal large language models and unified models for real-world applications in Earth science, medicine, and robotics, etc. I have published papers at CVPR, AAAI, ACM MM, and KDD, including a CVPR 2026 Highlight and a KDD 2026 Best Paper Award.

Before that, I received my Master's degree from Zhejiang University of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Cong Bai. During the same period, I spent two years at Tsinghua University as a Visiting Research Student under the supervision of Prof. Xiaomeng Huang. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I was a Visiting Researcher at INSAIT, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, working with Prof. Luc Van Gool and Dr. Danda Paudel.
