I am a Research Scientist at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), working with Prof. Chunyan Miao.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Science and Technology of China, advised by Prof. Wei Gong. Previously, I worked with Prof. Dong Yin during 2017–2020, and received my B.Eng. in Electronic and Information Engineering from Donghua University in 2017.

My research focuses on distribution shifts and efficient learning, with applications to large foundation models and mobile models.
