Welcome to my website. :)

I am a fifth-year PhD student of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, supervised by Sun-Yuan Kung. I received my Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University of Hong Kong in 2017, where I was advised by S.C. Chan.

I have broad interests in machine learning, in particular, deep learning. My research is mostly driven by two goals:

  • Model efficiency, where I am mostly interested in different neural network compression and acceleration algorithms to achieve efficient model training and inference

  • Data efficiency, where I am mostly excited about algorithms that facilitate learning with limited/low-resource labeled data for novel tasks/domains
