Jing HAO

I'm pursuing my Ph.D. degree at The University of Hong Kong, Faculty of Dentistry (Ranking 2nd in the world), specializing in Medical AI and MLLM, supervised by Prof. Kuo Feng Hung and Prof. James Kit Hon Tsoi. I lead the OralGPT-Family series of work (OralGPT, OralGPT-Omni, OralGPT-Plus, and OralAgent).

I am currently a visiting student at Ant Group (Ant Star). Previously, I was a visiting student at Shanghai AI Lab (2026.01–2026.05), and worked as a Computer Vision Engineer at Baidu VIS from 2022.07 to 2024.08. I received my M.S. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST, 2022), and B.S. degree from China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT, 2020).

My research interests span MLLM, Agent, and AI4Science. I warmly welcome all kinds of collaborations — please feel free to reach out!
