Biography


Hello! I am currently a PhD student (since 2022) at the AI Thrust, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), under the guidance of Prof. Yingcong Chen. My research interests are in deep learning and computer vision, with a particular focus on efficient deep learning and generative models. I have also had the privilege of working closely with Dr. Yukang Chen.

Previously, I earned my Bachelor's degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Beihang University (BUAA).
