I am a Ph.D. student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, under Prof. Helen Meng. My research centers on conversational AI, particularly speech and language models that can understand and reason over human conversations. My current work explores computational modeling and agentic systems for clinical conversations, with the goal of facilitating scalable cognitive assessment and screening. During my Ph.D., I fortunately received the IEEE Ganesh N. Ramaswamy Memorial Student Grant, the ISCA Award for the Best Paper Published in Speech Communication, and the Outstanding Student Award of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Prior to attending CUHK, I worked at Tsinghua University, under Prof. Dong Wang. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from Jilin University, where I focused on optical signal processing as an undergraduate researcher.

Feel free to contact me if you have any question about my works.
