I obtained my Ph.D. degree in March 2026 from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under supervision of Prof. Qian Zhang. Before that, I received my M.Eng. degree in 2022 from the school of Software and BNRist, Tsinghua University, under supervision of Prof. Xuan Ding and Prof. Zheng Yang in the research group of Prof. Yunhao Liu. I was also very fortunate to work with Prof. Chunhui Duan.
