I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University, working with Prof. Sun-Yuan Kung and Prof. David Wentzlaff, since September 2017 (CV). My research interest lies in generative models, efficient deep learning, and machine learning for systems.

I received my BEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in June 2017. I spent two wonderful summers at Adobe Research working with Dr. Zhixin Shu, Dr. Yijun Li, Dr. Zhe Lin, Dr. Richard Zhang, and Dr. Federico Perazzi in 2020 and 2021.
