Hi there:D

I completed my PhD at Imperial College London in May 2026, supervised by Prof. Danilo P. Mandić. My research focuses on Generative Language Model Compression with Algebraic Approaches, including tensor decomposition, structural pruning, and deployment on resource-constrained devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi).

I am also the founder of Facthink, building Graph-Hypoth, a multi-agent system that develops research claims into candidate hypotheses and literature-grounded experiment plans.

I am currently on the job market, looking at the intersection of research and engineering. Please do keep in touch for any potential opportunities!

Previously, I obtained my BEng at China University of Petroleum - Beijing, and did my MEng at University of Science and Technology of China, under the supervision of Prof. Xiang-Yang Li. Both my BEng and MEng are in Computer Science and Technology. I also interned at Baidu PaddlePaddle as a technical product manager, serving for the developer community of PaddleSpeech.
