I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong. I received my Ph.D. degree from CUHK in 2023, supervised by Prof. Bei Yu, and my B.Sc. degree from Peking University in 2017. I received the Best Paper Award Nomination from International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) 2025, the Best Paper Award Nomination from International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) 2024, the Best Paper Award Nomination from International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) 2024, championship of EDAthon 2018, and the 3rd place in ISPD contest 2020.

I work on AI-driven chip design automation, with current focuses on LLM agents for verification, flow orchestration, and domain-specific codegen. Previously I have also worked on netlist representation learning, GPU-accelerated physical verification, physical design, and heterogeneous accelerator design. We are extending our approaches to broader complex engineering scenarios.
