I am currently a master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I received my bachelor’s degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). I am actively seeking Ph.D. opportunities for Fall 2027.
