About me
Hi there! Welcome to my personal homepage. I’m a second year Ph.D. Student in Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology supervised by Professor Yangqiu Song. I received my bachelor degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the same institution in 2022, and I’m now funded by the HKPFS award. Currently, I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area for my internship at Amazon.com.
