About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student (from fall, 2025) at the School of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Melbourne, advised by A/Prof. Mingming Gong, co-supervised by Prof. Howard Bondell. Prior to this, I obtained my Master of Computer Science (with Distinction) degree from the University of Melbourne, under the supervision of A/Prof. Mingming Gong, Dr. Liuhua Peng, and Dr. Feng Liu.

I have strong interests in machine learning and deep model architectures. My current work focuses on LLM agents for long-horizon inference and long-term time series forecasting. The pursuit of my research is to promote the wide adoption of advanced AI algorithms in practical, real-world scenarios. Besides, I am intensely interested in various computer vision tasks.

Research Interests

Machine Learning: Deep Learning, Time Series, LLMs, Agentic AI, Causality, Bayesian Learning, Federated Learning, Reinforcement Learning, etc.
Computer Vision: Spatial Intelligence, 3D-Perception, 3D-Reconstruction, etc.
