Short Bio / 简介

I am an assistant professor at the School of Informatics (National Characteristic Demonstration Software School), Xiamen University. Prior to that, I received my PhD degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2023, supervised by Prof. Shing-Chi Cheung. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Northeastern University in June 2017.

I am a recipient of the Ministry of Education Overseas Talent Recruitment Postdoctoral Program (教育部海外引才博士后专项, 2026) and the Huawei Yishan Young Scholar (华为毅善青年学者, 2026).
