👋Hi there! I am currently a first-year PhD student advised by Prof. Dr. Heng Fan and co-advised by Prof. Dr. Yunhe Feng in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas (UNT), Denton, TX.
Prior to this, I was a member of IDKE Lab and received my master’s degree from Northeastern University (CN) in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jingwei Cheng, Prof. Dr. Fu Zhang, and Prof. Dr. Qiang Tong. My three years there were filled with systematic research training and wonderful memories, which became one of the key reasons I aspired to become a researcher.
If you are interested in my field of work, any form of collaboration and communication is welcome. Please feel free to contact me!
