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.

I’m actively looking for undergraduate students who are interested in collaborating with me in the field of NLP (Knowledge-enhanced LLM for Reasoning) and Multi-modality (Large Vision-Language Model’s Reasoning and Application) to pursue publications. Looking for individuals who are self-motivated, academically strong, and possess excellent coding abilities. If you meet these criteria and are interested in working with me, please email me with your CV and unofficial transcript. You can find my email address on the left-hand side.
