// PhD Student · University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Hi there! I am a first-year CS PhD student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Shenlong Wang.

Prior to starting my PhD, I earned an MS in Computer Vision (MSCV) at the CMU Robotics Institute, advised by Prof. Jun-Yan Zhu, and a BS in Mathematics at City University of Hong Kong. I am honored to have been advised by Prof. Alan Yuille, Prof. Mike Z. Shou, Prof. Ziwei Liu, and Prof. Yuan Liu. I am actively looking for Research Intern opportunities for Summer 2027. Feel free to reach out!
