Biography

I am a third year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), advised by Prof. Xinyu Zhang.

I earned my bachelor's degree in computer science with honor in 3 years from University at Buffalo. I was a research assistant advised by Prof. Wenyao Xu at UB ESC Group. After graduated from UB in 2021, I took a gap year and worked with Prof. Zhengxiong Li at University of Colorado Denver META Lab.
