About me

Hi, I am a fourth year PhD student at MIT EECS, advised by Prof. Duane S. Boning. Previously, I obtained my M.S. and B.E. from School of Microelectronics, Fudan University, where I worked closely with Prof. Jun Tao and Prof. Xin Li (Duke Univ.) in the area of electronic design automation (specifically, Bayes methods for DFM). My current research interests lie mainly in design automation for elecronic and photonic integrated circuits (What is it?), novel computing paradigm (e.g., KirchhoffNet), and applied machine learning. In the summer before coming to MIT, I was very lucky to work with Prof. Ron Rohrer on the adjoint method and Prof. Hang Zhao on multimodal learning. I interned at Baidu, Shanghai Qizhi AI Insitute, and Nvidia Research. My research has been recognized with several honors, including being named an ML and Systems Rising Star in 2024, an editor's highlight from Optica Express in 2024 and from Photonics Research in 2023, an ICLR’23 spotlight paper (top 5%), and the Biren scholarship (1 out of 3 nationwide) in 2020, among a few others.

Pin1: I dedicate one hour per week to mentor and offer suggestions to underrepresented students or anyone in need. Please fill in this form if you are interested.

Pin2: I am seeking an internship for the summer of 2025.
