I am an assistant professor at the Department of Data Science, City University of Hong Kong. I got my Ph.D. from the Department of Statistics, Oxford, supervised by Prof. Tom Rainforth and Prof. Yee Whye Teh. Before that, I got my BS and MS degrees from Peking University and worked as a researcher at Bytedance AI lab. My research interests include machine reasoning (mainly LLM reasoning), generative models, and, more generally, machine learning.
