About

Thanks for stopping by.

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at University of Birmingham, supervised by Prof. Jianbo Jiao. Alongside my PhD, I work as a software engineer at Allsee Technology.

Previously, I completed MEng ECE @ UIUC and BSc ICS @ UoL & XJTLU. Pre-PhD entrance, I was lucky to had a RA-ship under supervision of Prof. Yunchao Wei. Earlier than that, during my undergraduate studies, I was supervised by Dr. Erick Purwanto and Prof. Jie Zhang on some research projects.
