I am currently a Research Scientist at A*STAR CFAR, Singapore, working with Prof. Ong Yew Soon and Prof. Ivor W. Tsang. Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), advised by Prof. Chu Xiaowen. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the School of Electronic Information and Communications at Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST).
My research focuses on making large-scale AI models efficient, deployable, and trustworthy:
- LLM Inference Optimization — Sparse MoE routing, speculative decoding, KV cache compression, token scheduling
- Intellectual Property Protection — Model fingerprinting and IP attribution for LLMs at cluster scale
- Neural Architecture Search (NAS) & AutoML — One-shot NAS, multi-objective search, resource-aware optimization
Highlights
- 🏆 A*STAR Career Development Fund (CDF) — S$250,000, PI, 31 selected from 194 applicants
- 📄 AutoML Survey — 2,700+ citations, KBS 2021
- 🛠️ Hyperbox — Open-source AutoML framework
- 📚 动手学 AutoML — Textbook on AutoML & LLM optimization, China Machine Press, 2026
