Hello, a bit about me.
I am a Senior scientist and PhD advisor at Machine Intellection department, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR. Previously, I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2022, where I was advised by Prof. Kwoh Chee Keong and Dr. Xu Chi under the Singapore International Graduate Award (SINGA). I deeply appreciate the guidance and support of my committee members, Prof. Sinno Jialin Pan and Dr. Allan Neng-Sheng Zhang. My current research interests include large language models and their applications. During my undergraduate studies, I focused on humanoid robotics competitions such as RoboCup and FIRA.
