About me
Nice to meet you! I am a first-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), advised by Prof. Jun Han and Prof. Huamin Qu. My research interests span Scientific Visualization, Machine Learning, and Human-AI Interaction.
Before joining HKUST, I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University, where I worked with Prof. Yingcai Wu and Dr. Di Weng at ZJU IDG Lab. During the second half of 2025, I was a visiting research intern at HKUST VisLab, advised by Prof. Huamin Qu. Since June 2026, I have been working as a Research Intern at Alibaba Cloud, focusing on agentic databases.
I am actively seeking research collaborations, research internship opportunities, and visiting or exchange opportunities. Please feel free to reach out if our research interests overlap.

Projects
-
[Project Leader & First Author] Object-Oriented Writing: A Structure-Driven Paradigm for Academic Writing (2025.10 - 2026.04)
Designed and developed a UI Agent system integrated into Overleaf as a browser plugin, enabling structure-aware, controllable academic writing with a Qwen3-based AI agent and diff visualization. User study (N=12) showed significant improvement in writing logic quality and reduced cognitive load. -
[Project Member & Full-stack Developer] AI-Assisted English Speaking Practice & Lesson Plan Generation (2025.07 - 2025.12)
Developed and deployed LLM-based scoring agents for the GAVIS platform, using SpeechAce and Docker microservices to evaluate pronunciation, fluency, and task completion. Contributed frontend and vector retrieval components for AdaPT, an adaptive lesson plan system using dynamic prompt chaining. -
[Project Leader & First Author] ViseGPT: Alignment of LLM-generated Data Wrangling Scripts and User Prompts (2024.11 - 2025.04)
Built a constraint-based unit testing framework enabling LLM agents to self-verify and iteratively correct code generation. Implemented full-stack system (React, D3.js, Python) with Llama-3.3 backend; reduced user debugging time by over 40% (UIST 2025). -
[Project Leader & Core Developer] AI-Driven Data Wrangling Understanding and Verification Framework (2024.05 - 2025.05)
Led an SRTP-funded project producing three systems: Ferry (full-stack with Z3 solver and GPT-4 for counterexample generation, reducing script understanding time by 40%), ViseGPT (see above), and RuleScope (early frontend contributions for constraint visualization).
