About me

I’m a Ph.D. student at CSE, HKUST, supervised by Prof. Binhang Yuan. Before that, I got my B.S. degree in Statistics and B.Eng. degree in Artificial Intelligence from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). Previously I worked as a research assistant at Peking University DAIR lab, supervised by Prof. Bin Cui.

My research interests mainly focus on Database and Large Language Models. Previously, I focused on Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML), especially Hyperparameter Optimization problem.
