Miscellaneous

I derive great pleasure from capturing fleeting moments through the lens of my camera and immortalizing them on the pages of my blog. I also love practising flute.

About Me

I am a final-year PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Wei Wang. I also work closely with Dr. Ruichuan Chen and Prof. Bo Li. I got my B.S. degree in Computer Science from Zhejiang University in 2019.

Research Interests: Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning

I develop systems support for efficient, private, and robust federated computation over the Internet.

I am on the job market for academic and research positions.
