About me

Hi, I am a second year M.S. student at Nanjing University (NJU) in Nanjing, China. I received my B.S. degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the same university in 2023. From September 2024 to February 2025, I carried out collaborative research as a visiting scholar at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Pohang, South Korea.

My research interests focus on Network-on-Chip (NoC) design, HW/SW Co-design and LLMs. If you’re interested in collaboration, feel free to contact me via email.
