About me

Hi there! Welcome to my personal homepage. I’m a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Professor Yangqiu Song. Currently, I am a visiting Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University, where I am supervised by Prof. Daniel Khashabi. Previously, I was an applied scientist intern at Amazon in Palo Alto, CA, USA, working with Dr. Limeng Cui, Dr. Xin Liu, and Dr. Chen Luo. I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from HKUST in 2022, and I am currently funded by the HKPFS award.
