About Me

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, hosted by Chris Heunen and Robin Kaarsgaard. I received my Ph.D. from the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2024, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Mingsheng Ying.

I am currently seeking academic positions, see my CV here.
