I'm currently a second-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), under the supervision of Prof. Bei Yu since Fall 2021. Previously, I received my B.Eng. in Information System and Information Management from Fudan University (FDU) in 2016 and Msc in Computer Science from The Chinese University of HongKong (CUHK) in 2020. My research interests include Computer Vision and Machine Learning in EDA.
