About Me

I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the University of Queensland, supervised by Prof. Yujun Cai, Prof. Miao Xu and Prof. Yiwei Wang. I was an Intern Researcher at StepFun, working closely with Dr. Gang Yu. Before that, I was an Intern Researcher of the AI Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Hao Wang. I received my M.Sc at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, supervised by Prof. Bihan Wen and Dr. Yufei Wang. Prior to this, I obtained my B.Eng. from Southeast University.
