🍾 Biography

Hi! I’m a first-year PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), under the supervision of Prof. Edith Cheuk Han Ngai. Previously, I obtained my M.E. degree in Computer Science and Technology in the School of Artificial Intelligence (SAI) at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), supervised by Prof. Xuehe Wang and B.E. degree in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2022.

My research interests include Distributed Optimization (e.g., Federated Learning), Large Language Models (LLMs), Mixture of Experts (MoE), etc.

📢 I’m actively looking forward to collaborating with self-motivated researchers in the field of FL, LLMs, etc. Feel free to drop me an email if you’re interested!
