Biography

I am currently a PhD student at The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Dr. Lequan Yu and Prof. Guosheng Yin. My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and statistics. Specifically, my research focuses on graph representation learning, Bayesian deep learning, medical images, and recommendation systems. I am dedicated to introducing statistical insights to modern deep learning algorithms, with a primary focus on Bayesian deep learning.

During my undergraduate studies in HKU, I was working as a research assistant supervised by Dr. Yan Dora Zhang and Prof. Guosheng Yin. I obtained my B.Sc degree in Actuarial Science (Second major in CS), The University of Hong Kong in 2020.
