About Me
I am a final-year PhD at Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Huaizu Jiang. I am also fortunate to collaborate closely with Dr. Jianwei Yang. Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Tongji University and Master's degree in Statistics from Fudan University.
