About Me
Hi! I’m Wenxi Chen (陈文熙). I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student at the X-Lance Lab, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), under the supervision of Prof. Xie Chen. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (IEEE Pilot Class) from SJTU in 2025.
I’m generally interested in understanding & generation in speech and audio, as well as multimodal large language models. My previous projects have involved audio self-supervised learning, audio captioning and end-to-end spoken dialogue models.
