About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the school of Computer Science and Engineering at Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST), honored to be supervised by Prof. Yazhou Yao. Since starting my Ph.D., I have been a long-term research intern at Zhejiang University, honored to be supervised by Prof. Wenguan Wang. Before that, I received my undergraduate degree from the college of Qian-Xuesen, Nanjing University of Science and Technology.
