About me

I am a dedicated junior Computer Science student at the National University of Singapore (NUS), complemented by enriching learning experiences at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). I used to be a visiting student at PolyU DEEP Lab and a software engineering intern at Activate Interactive, having gained experience and honed skills in both academia and industry. My academic focus centers on Application of Large Language Models and Recommender Systems. Beyond the code, I find joy in playing football and proudly identify as a die-hard fan of Manchester United.
