Bo Zhao   |   赵博

I am currently a first-year Master's student in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. Since December 2024, I have also been a visiting student at Great Bay University, hosted by Prof. Zitong Yu.

My research interests focus on remote physiological signal sensing (rPPG), MLLMs, generative models, and agentic memory.
