Biography

I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. Evangeline F.Y. Young. Before that, I received my Bachelor Degree of Computer Science and Technology from Zhejiang University (ZJU).

My research interests include physical design of VLSI circuits and related ML-based problems.
