Hi, I'm Michael. I am a second year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of British Columbia, supervised by Prof. Lele Wang. I'm also a PhD student of the Institute of Applied Mathematics. My research interest lies in topics related to information theory and probability theory. I'm working on some problems in classical random graph theory and quantum information theory.

In Summer 2026, I joined The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) as a Research Assistant in Prof. Yuwen Huang group on some topics in quantum information theory.

Currently, I'm a visiting student in Prof. Varun Jog's group at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS), University of Cambridge. My proposed work is on some fundamental problems in information theory and statistics.

Prior to joining UBC, I obtained my Bachelor's degree with a first class honors from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, majoring in Mathematics and Information Engineering. During my undergraduate study, I worked on several research projects. See here for more details.

I enjoy developing my hobbies in different fields alongside my journey in academia, including music, sports, gaming, etc. See here for more details.

My CV can be found here.
