About me
I am a third-year PhD student at UC San Diego Department of CSE, advised by Prof. Rose Yu. My current research interest lies in generative AI, physics-guided deep learning, and geometric deep learning. I am particularly excited about machine learning methods for scientific discovery, such as symmetry discovery and governing equation discovery. I was a research intern at Bytedance during 2024 summer and, prior to that, a research intern at NEC Laboratories during 2023 summer. For more details, see my cv.
