About Me

I am a researcher passionate about the cross-disciplinary study in machine learning and computer systems, spanning algorithm design, scalable data analysis, and full-stack software engineering—from rapid prototyping to production deployment. My background in machine learning, software engineering, and hardware-level implementations provides a strong foundation for advancing AI-driven computing systems.

I completed my MSc in Computing at the School of Computing, Queen's University, under the supervision of Professor Ying Zou. My research focused on ML-driven Mining Software Repositories. I earned my BSc in Automation from the Beijing Institute of Technology, where I built extensive expertise in embedded systems, machine learning, and electrical engineering.
