Research

I'm interested in Generative AI and Deep Learning, especially in Digital Humans. Hope my research works can be applied in the AR/VR applications, game and movie industry. I'm also interested in Financial Engineering and AI for Investment.

Projects

I have also worked on some open-source projects related to AR/VR, game design, and AI for investment. Check them out below, and if you like them, welcome to give a star on GitHub!

Algorithmic Stock Trading Strategies
[project page]

Python implementation of trading strategies (Rule-Based Trading Strategies & Machine Learning-Based Strategies), including implementation module, backtesting module, visualization module.
- Russel 2000 rebalancing strategy
- Generative Adversarial Network for stock prediction
- LSTM model for stock prediction

SentimentSage: A Stock Market News Sentiment Analysis AI Software with RAG
[project page] / [website demo]

The platform provides deep analysis on financial news and market sentiment. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) models like FinBERT, combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, it can quickly analyze financial news, extract sentiment, and generate real-time reports.

"Hello World! 🐱"

Hey there! I’m all about chasing passions and exploring life! I love travelling around the World, snapping photos of stunning places—check out my travel map below and hover over the markers to see my shots! When I’m not traveling, I’m sketching cool stuff like wolves or Spiderman, fencing with HKU’s epee team, or strumming my guitar. I also give back to the community through volunteering:

- 2025 HKU Interflow Program "UESTC Sichuan Workshop"
- 2025 SJTU “Save the Traditional Villages in China” Workshop
- 2025 Robocon Hong Kong student volunteer
- 2023 HKU BTP Yunnan Program summer volunteer teacher
- 2022-Present Volunteer at Hong Kong Hakka Associations

Fun fact: I speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Southwestern Mandarin. Half HongKonger, half Sichuanese, and I lived in Zhuhai (a beautiful small city) when I was a child.
