👀 About me
I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Jun ZHANG. Before joining HKUST, I received my B.Eng. in the School of Information Science and Engineering from Southeast University in 2024 (with honors).
My research interests focus on Efficient AI, with an emphasis on both model-centric (e.g., quantization/sparsification) and data-centric (e.g., token reduction) techniques.
