About Me
I am a PhD Candidate at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. YI, Ke. Prior to that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science from HKUST. My research interests include data privacy and security, and algorithms.
Teaching
I assist in teaching the following courses:
- COMP2711: Discrete Mathematical Tools for Computer Science (21 Spring)
- COMP5711: Introduction to Advanced Algorithmic Techniques (21 Fall, 23 Fall)
