I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the School of Computer Science, University of Auckland, supervised by Professor Jiamou Liu and Professor Gill Dobbie FRSNZ.

My research interests include AI for healthcare, Natural Language Processing, Multi-agent systems, and trustworthy artificial intelligence.

Before beginning my PhD, I received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Northeast Forestry University in 2024 and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science from the University of Auckland in 2025.

Outside research, I enjoy debating, marathon running, and gaming. I serve as the captain of the University of Auckland Chinese Debate Team, and as the president of the New Zealand Chinese Debate Association. I have also participated in numerous debate tournaments.

I am always open to research discussions and potential collaborations.
