About Me

I am a first year PhD student in Computer Science at Brandeis University, advised by Prof. Hongfu Liu. Before joining Brandeis, I worked at Y Combinator China and crafted strategic presentation and financing materials for Dr. Qi Lu.

Previously, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) in 2022. During my undergraduate period I also worked as a research intern at International Digital Economy Academy (founded by Dr. Harry Shum), supervised by Dr. Jiaxing Zhang. Before that, I spent two years working as a research assistant in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, coadvised by Dr. Qifeng Lin and Prof. Qing Ling.
