About me

I'm a last-year PhD student supervised by Prof. Hongfei Lin at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, China.

Currently, I'm a visiting scholar working with Prof. Fenglong Ma at the Pennsylvania State University

I plan to conduct Doctoral Defense in this summer, Jun 2024.

Now, I'm in JOB Market, looking for Postdoctoral position in Overseas, Faculty in China, or Research Fellow at company.

I would like to do some interesting and meaningful works. So, WARM welcome to contact me!
