About

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student majoring in Computer Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Bei Yu and co-supervised by Prof. Wei Meng since Fall, 2023. Previously, I received my M.S. at The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) and The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) , and B.Eng. at The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) . My research interests are Artificial Intelligence for Electronic Design Automation (AI4EDA) and Functional Verification.
