I am a doctoral candidate in the CS Department at CityU, advised by Prof. Qingfu Zhang (Chair Professor, IEEE Fellow).

My research focuses on harnessing computational intelligence to develop advanced AI systems. Presently, my work is concentrated on tackling optimization challenges and devising algorithms that contribute to the robust and trustworthy AI systems.

Throughout my academic journey, I have had the privilege of collaborating with lots of distinguished researchers: Prof. Qingchuan Zhao, Dr. Xi Lin, and Mr. Cheng Gong.
