About Me

I am the second year PhD student at the Sustainable Energy and Environment Thrust of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), under the supervision of Prof. Jiaqiang HUANG and Prof. Jia LI. Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology from Dalian Maritime Univerity in 2024.

My research interest includes AI for batteries, electrolyte optimization, and battery life prediction. So far, I have published 3 journal/conference papers. Total citations: 41.
