Biography

I am currently a third-year PhD student at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Bei Yu and Prof. Hong Xu. Prior to that, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering at Xi'an Jiaotong University and my M.Sc degree in Information Technology at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. My research interest lies in machine learning in EDA and computer vision.
