About me

I reciced my B.Eng degree in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Science and Technology of China(USTC) in 2021, where I worked with Prof. Jianmin Ji. I also recieved a minor of Talent Program in Liberal Arts and Science from USTC in 2021. I went to the University of Alberta in September, 2021, where I was a Master of Science student in Computing Science, supervised by Matt Taylor as a member of IRL Lab, RLAI Lab and Amii. I am a PhD student of University of Waterloo, supervised by Prof. Victor Zhong in R2L Lab and Vector Institute.
CV is provided upon request.
