I’m attending CHI 2023. Looking forward to meeting with old friends and new friends there!
Short Bio
I am now a Ph.D. student in the Momentum Lab, Dept. of ECE, University of Alberta, supervised by Prof. Lei Ma. I received my M.Eng in Electrical and Computer Engineering with specialization in ML&AI from the University of Waterloo in Dec 2020, B.Eng in Telecommunication Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in Jun 2019. During my undergraduate study, I got a chance to work with Prof. Ben M. Chen, and visit Prof. Chen’s group at National University of Singapore for 3 months.

Misc.
In my personal time, I enjoy sports (Visca el Barça¡ 🔴🔵 / Let’s go Oilers! 🟠🔵), and cooking, … I was an amateur soccer player (best record: 2nd place in Fuzhou city’s high school league) for a long period before I had a serious back injury. I’m also a fan of many KPOP girls’ groups and solos (sounds strange but their music really makes my day :p).
