Profile

Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, supervised by Assistant Professor Chen Jason Zhang and working closely with Professor Raymond Chi-Wing Wong. My research focuses on Natural Language Processing for Databases, especially data-centric tasks, structured query generation, data visualization understanding, and data agents. I am also interested in applying mathematical optimization techniques to improve the performance and efficiency of data agents.
