MPhil Student · HKU

I'm an MPhil student at the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing and Data Science, The University of Hong Kong, working with Prof. Chenshu Wu at HKU AIoT Lab. Previously, I received my BEng in Computer Science from HKU (2025), was an exchange student at University of Toronto (2024), and a research intern at Western University under Prof. Pingzhao Hu (2024).

My research focuses on Spatial and Physical AI — leveraging signals, physics priors, and human-environment interactions to understand the real world, build intelligent systems, and create novel interfaces for human and AI.
