Biography

I’m currently a Ph.D. student in Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Scientific Computation Concentration) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Sen Li. I have a very wide-ranging interest in topics related to AI. Currently, my research primarily focuses on the field of Ethical Smart City (Transportation), combined with Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Previously, I received my B.Eng. degree from School of Computer Science and Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University in 2024, mentored by Prof. Kai Huang (Embodied AI), Prof. Ning Liu and Prof. Chengying Gao (Music AI). Additionally, I had the privilege of visiting the Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data associated with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) under the guidance of Prof. Guangxu Zhu for one year, where I also learned from Prof. ‪Xiaoyang Li‬ and Dr. ‪Hang Li‬‬ (Wireless Sensing & Network Optimization).

If you are interested in collaborating with me, please feel free to reach out via email. Beyond my primary research interests, I am also keen on NLP, few-shot learning, transfer learning, pre-training, cross domain tasks, time series tasks, embodied AI, HCI, and more.

Aside from academics, I’m a music enthusiast, having been a singer and guitarist & bassist in bands Tokamak Disruption (托卡马克崩坏) (alternative metal), NEWS (alternative rock, current my personal band) and Rights of Lethe (melodic death metal, dissolved). I have a strong passion for heavy rock music, particularly alternative punk, melodic death metal, dark metal, and deathcore. If you are interested in playing or collaborating with us, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email.
