About Me

I’m currently a Ph.D. student at Artificial Intelligence Trust, HKUST (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Menglin Yang. I completed my M.S. in the School of Data Science at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where my supervisor was Prof. Wei Gong. Prior to that, I earned my B.Eng. in Internet of Things Engineering from Anhui University (AHU) in 2021.

I am always open to potential collaborations. Please feel free to contact me.
