I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in DSP Lab, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of California, Irvine. My advisor is Prof. Zhou Li. I was a Research Intern at Microsoft Research in 2023 and at IBM Research in 2024.

I received my B.S. and Master degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and got Outstanding Undergraduate in 2017 and Outstanding Graduate in 2020.

I am open to discuss anything related to my research interests. If you want to share ideas or get cooperation, please email me without hesitation:).

I am on the job market! Let me know if you think I am a good fit for your team!
