I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). Meanwhile, I am a graduating PhD student at NUS and I have finished my thesis defence, fortunately under the supervision of Prof. Vincent Y. F. Tan and Prof. Yeow Meng Chee. Previously, I received the B.Eng. degree from the School of Data and Computer Science, Sun Yat-sen University, China, in 2017.
My research interests focus on reinforcement learning, differential privacy and large language models. Additionally, I have professional programming experience from my two-year career as a software engineer at Tencent and winning four gold medals in ICPC Asia.
