Biography

I am a final-year undergraduate student majoring in Artificial Intelligence: Systems & Technologies at CUHK. I feel lucky to be advised by Prof. Anthony Man-Cho So on my summer research projects as well as my ongoing final-year project.

In the Spring semester of 2024, I was an exchange student at ETH Zurich. I completed my Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) in 2021 with the best 5 subjects score of 34 out of 35 (top 0.4%).

Research Interests

I have a broad interest in machine learning, optimization and language models. I am currently focusing on optimization algorithms for training deep models. Previously, I worked on optimization algorithms for graph signal processing.
