About Me

Hi there. I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate working with Prof. Raheem Beyah and Prof. Shouling Ji in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to joining GaTech, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Zhejiang University in 2018.

I am on the academia job market starting from 2024 spring! Please email me if you think there is a good match!
