M.Phil. @ HKUST

Interested in Computer Vision, Medical Image Analysis and Trustworthy AI

About me

I am currently an M.Phil. student in Computer Science and Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Hao Chen. My primary research interests focus on computer vision, medical image analysis, and trustworthy artificial intelligence.

Before joining HKUST, I graduated with honors from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), earning a outstanding Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Science and Engineering from the School of Opto-Electronic Science and Engineering. During my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of receiving several prestigious awards, including the China National Scholarship three times. I was also fortunate to have the opportunity to begin my research journey in Artificial Intelligence under the guidance of the highly supportive Prof. Liangjian Deng.
