Education

  • Bachelor of Engineering | Communication Engineering (Joint Program)
    2026-07
    UESTC & University of Glasgow
    GPA: 84.9 / 3.73
    Courses: 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 Systems
    2024-09 - 2025-04
    National Supercomputing Center
    Supervisor: 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 Systems
    2024-04 - 2025-05
    University 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 Learning
    2024-02 - 2025-05
    Johns Hopkins University
    Supervisor: 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.
