I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame, advised by Prof. Toby Jia-Jun Li in the SaNDwichLab ๐ฅช. My research sits at the intersection of AI, Software Engineering, and HCI. Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies at SUSTech in Shenzhen.
- ๐ ๏ธ I'm a full-stack software engineer and AI researcher. I build interactive tools and conduct user studies to explore how developers understand, modify, and collaborate with AI-generated code.
- ๐ผ I'm actively looking for research internships or product team roles for Summer 2026, especially in AI-powered developer tools and human-centered AI.
- ๐ Outside of research, I'm learning actively about finance and entrepreneurship, particularly how to amplify human capabilities with AI in the AGI era. Always happy to chat about wild startup ideas. ๐ก
- ๐ฑ I'm also curious about philosophy and theology as forms of spiritual cultivation in modern lifeโespecially how their ideas can be embodied in practice, such as in reflections on "what makes a meaningful life?".
- ๐ Fun fact: I'm obsessed with furry companions like ๐ฑ British Shorthairs / Ragdolls and ๐ถ Mini Aussies / Bernese Mountain Dogs.
๐ฌ Always happy to connect with engineers, researchers, and builders โ reach me via
