Education
- Bachelor of Engineering | Communication Engineering (Joint Program)2026-07UESTC & University of GlasgowGPA: 84.9 / 3.73Courses: Linear Algebra and Space Analytic Geometry (98), Elements of Information Theory (88), Introductory Programming (95), Digital Circuit Design (92)
Work Experience
- Research Intern — Diffusion Models for Virtual Try-On Systems2024-09 - 2025-04National Supercomputing CenterSupervisor: Dr. Changwei Wang (Jinan, China)
- Developed a virtual try-on framework using diffusion models, enabling clothing visualization from a single image.
- Improved realism and garment-fitting accuracy to enhance the online shopping experience.
- Addressed long-sleeve to short-sleeve replacement using staged and partial replacement strategies.
- Research Assistant — Generative AI in Semantic Communication Systems2024-04 - 2025-05University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC)Supervisor: Prof. Yusha Liu (Chengdu, China)
- Applied generative AI models to compress information into latent space before transmission and reconstruct it after transmission to conserve communication resources.
- Explored underwater semantic communication enhancement by learning from large underwater communication datasets.
- Adapted models for complex-valued communication systems (most AI models are designed for real-valued inputs).
- Research Project Lead — LLMs for Automated Machine Learning2024-02 - 2025-05Johns Hopkins UniversitySupervisor: Dr. Yiqing Shen (Baltimore, MD)
- Led an independent project applying LLMs to automate both discriminative and generative machine learning.
- Ran experiments across multiple datasets; the framework performed better in most settings.
- Conducted a user study with 25 participants validating usability and convenience.
- Authored a paper accepted by IEEE BIBM 2025.
