Greetings, I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science Engineering (HKUST) under the supervision of Prof. Minhao Cheng and Prof. Nevin L. Zhang. Previously, I received my B.Eng. degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the joint program (BUPT & QMUL). My interest currently lies broadly in AI safety.
