Hakuna Matata.
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at HKUST, supervised by Prof. Junxian He. Before that, I got my masters’ degree in Computer Science and Technology Department at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Yang Yang and Prof. Jiarong Xu. I also collaborated with Prof. Carl Yang on various aspects of graph-related research topics.
My current research interest primarily lies in LLM post-training and LLM reasoning. I am also interested in graph data mining and its specialized applications in real-world scenarios.

Miscellaneous
In my free time, I enjoy hiking and writing. I’m an avid fan of Khalil Fong, an exceptional artist and musician. I also play in a band called 'ANS' with my friends. I am interested in cognitive science, cosmology, and metaphysics, with a particular focus on exploring the interconnections between their underlying principles.
