About me
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), supervised by Prof. Qingfu ZHANG. I completed my Ph.D. degree at CityUHK, also under Prof. Qingfu ZHANG’s supervision. Prior to this, I obtained both my master’s and bachelor’s degrees from the School of Marine Science and Technology at at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), where I was supervised by Prof. Baowei SONG and Prof. Peng WANG.
My research interests include multiobjective optimization, Bayesian optimization, and their applications.
