About Me

I am currently a PhD student of Computer Science at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) supervised by Mohamed Elhoseiny. Before that, I received BSc in Computer Science from Jilin University, China. I have been fortunate to develop research and industry experience through internships at Meta and Nvidia.
