About me

I'm a PhD student in Electronic Engineering with James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK. I obtained a BEng degree in Electronic Engineering from University of Glasgow and a BEng degree in Electronic Engineering from UESTC and an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology, GA, US.

My research focuses on designing radio frequency front-end components efficiently with optimization, (AI) surrogate model assisted optimization, machine learning and large language model (LLM).
