About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on coding agent (for computer-use, and visual artifacts).

I received my M.Phil. in Electronic Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2026, where I was fortunate to work with Dr. Wenbo Hu at Tencent ARC Lab. Before that, I obtained my B.E. at Tianjin University.
