I am a year 5 undergraduate student at the University of Hong Kong, pursuing a dual degree in BEng and BBA. My research interests lie in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and multimodal generation, and I had the opportunity to work with Prof. Taku Komura and Prof. Yuan Liu during my undergraduate studies. I studied at Heung To Middle School before. Feel free to send me an email if you are interested in my research.

Research Publications

My research focuses on artificial intelligence and machine learning for computer vision and graphics, especially in video/image generation and digital human. I'm exploring how these technologies can bring benefits in fields like mixed reality, robotics, LLM, integrated systems, film, game and entertainment industry. I'm also interested in financial technology.

Miscellanea

I like adventures and exploring new things, traveling around the world, and taking photos of amazing places. I like drawing, basketball and strumming my guitar. I also like fencing, I was a member of the HKU fencing team. Some fun facts about me, I speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Southwestern Mandarin. I'm half HongKonger, half Sichuanese, and I spent my childhood in Zhuhai. I am a huge Marvel fan!
