Hello, I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. My research interests are the intersection of Software Engineering and Machine Learning.

I obtained my Master of Applied Science in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia in 2024. I was advised by Prof. Karthik Pattabiraman. I have also worked with Prof. Caroline Lemieux as a Research Assistant. I received my B.Eng from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2021. Before joining Cornell, I was a Security Researcher at Fortinet.
