## Summary

Liu Shilong, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton (joining Columbia University in fall 2027 as a tenure-track assistant professor), has shifted his research focus to self-evolving agents, with robotics and scientific discovery as application scenarios. He is a core author of the open-world detection model Grounding DINO, which has over 2 million monthly downloads on Hugging Face, and whose open-source project has accumulated over 30,000 GitHub stars.
