Biography

I am a third-year PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) under the supervision of Dr. Xin Huang. I received my BSc degree in Mathematics from East China Normal University (ECNU) in 2019. Prior to that, I received my secondary education from Shanghai High School from 2011 to 2015.

Research Interests

My research interests involve graph data management, graph algorithms, logic synthesis etc.
