A little about me
Currently, I serve as a Research Assistant under Prof. Li's supervision at the University of Macau (UMacau), Macau🇲🇴🇨🇳 (Sep. 2026 – Present). I will commence my Master's degree program in Sep. 2027, with an expected completion date of Aug. 2029.
My prior appointments include an Artificial Intelligence Engineer position at LexinFintech Ltd., Shenzhen, China (June 2025 – August 2026), a Visiting Researcher position at ISTD, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore🇸🇬 (May 2024 – April 2025), and a remote project collaboration with scientists from ASTAR Institute of Advanced Intelligence and Computing (ASTAR IAIC), Singapore (2023-2025). I earned my B.Eng. from Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), Chengdu, China🇨🇳 (June 2023).
我目前在澳门🇲🇴🇨🇳的澳门大学（UMacau）担任研究助理，由Li 教授指导（2026 年 9 月至今）。我将于 2027 年 9 月开始硕士学位课程，预计于 2029 年 8 月完成学业。
此前，我曾在中国深圳的乐信集团（LexinFintech Ltd.）担任人工智能工程师（2025 年 6 月至 2026 年 8 月），在新加坡🇸🇬的新加坡科技设计大学（SUTD） ISTD 担任访问研究员（2024 年 5 月至 2025 年 4 月），并于 2023 至 2025 年与新加坡ASTAR Institute of Advanced Intelligence and Computing（ASTAR IAIC）的科学家开展远程项目合作。我于 2023 年 6 月获得中国成都🇨🇳的西南交通大学（SWJTU）工学学士学位。
Research Focus
Reliable language intelligence.
Three research tracks: efficient LLM inference, reliable model workflows, and memory-aware language models.
01
/ 03
01 / LLM Inference
Efficient inference and deployment-oriented LLM systems
Exploring inference efficiency, serving behavior, and deployment-aware optimization for practical large language model systems.
02 / LLM
Hallucination mitigation and reliable LLM workflows
Open-source exploration around full-loop LLM workflows, model behavior analysis, and methods for reducing hallucination in practical systems.
03 / LLM Memory
Memory-aware language models and long-context reasoning
Research interest in how large language models store, retrieve, revise, and use memory across long interactions and knowledge-intensive workflows.
Publications
Peer-reviewed research papers.
A multi-stage multi-modal learning algorithm with adaptive multimodal fusion for improving multi-label skin lesion classification
Peer-reviewed medical AI paper on multimodal skin lesion classification using clinical images, dermoscopy images, and metadata.
The work proposes an uncertainty-based hybrid fusion strategy for multimodal skin cancer diagnosis, combining image-level and metadata-level information for more adaptive classification.
