I am an incoming Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, under the esteemed guidance of Prof. Zhihao Jia. I am a member of the CMU Catalyst research group.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning systems, large language models, and AI agents.

Prior to my Ph.D., I completed my Master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University, and received my Bachelor’s degree from City University of Hong Kong.
