About Me

I am currently final-year undergrad pursuing a B.Eng. in a dual-degree program from the University of Glasgow and UESTC. I had the opportunity to gain valuable experience under the mentorship of Dr. Yu Zeng from Princeton University, during a research collaboration that spanned from the fall of 2022 to the summer of 2023. From August 2023 to December 2023, I joined the EIC Lab at GaTech, where I worked under the supervision of Dr. Yang (Katie) Zhao. Most recently, from May to September 2024, I was enrolled in the Synthesis Lab where I conducted research under the mentorship of Prof. Jian Weng.

I am actively seeking PhD opportunities starting from 2025 Fall in Computer Architecture, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), and Machine Learning Systems. You can check my research statement here.
