Biography

Previously, I received a Master of Science from Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University in 2025, and a Bachelor of Science from School of the Gifted Young at USTC in 2023.

My current research interest lies in computational lithography, where we leverage GPU compute for VLSI lithography simulation and mask optimization.

Before coming to CUHK, I worked on developing quantum-limited parametric amplifiers beyond the conventional sub-10 GHz frequency range.
