High school, science and engineering

Research Intern, LLM for Electronic Design Automation (EDA)

Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo

• Designed and built an independent LLM-for-EDA project on circuit understanding and AI-assisted design, from problem formulation and data preparation to LLM-based processing and output evaluation.
• Curated, annotated, cleaned, and quality-checked circuit-design data for the group’s LLM-for-EDA research, and prepared structured datasets for model development and evaluation.

NLP Research Intern

Minnesota NLP Group, University of Minnesota

• Built a pipeline for detecting computer-use agents from privacy-preserving browser traces, combining controlled agent runs, reproduction of published detectors, and a tested consent-first Chrome extension recorder.
• Wrote the Python CLI that validates traces, extracts 23 behavioral features, and runs leave-one-task-out evaluation; 5 PRs merged into the lab repository.

Co-Founder

Veylora Labs

• Building executive-intelligence systems that find patterns across an organization’s reports and data and turn them into clear, actionable signals for decision makers.

Research Assistant

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

• Researched uncertainty-aware LLMs for generative recommendation; built Qwen3-8B/LoRA pipelines for confidence calibration, candidate reranking, and selective recommendation on multi-domain Amazon benchmarks.

Teaching Assistant, Calculus and Logic & Set Theory

Eindhoven University of Technology

• Led tutorial sessions on limits, derivatives, integrals, formal reasoning, and set operations, and gave structured feedback on students’ mathematical reasoning.

Research Assistant

Zhangjiang Laboratory

• Studied and documented the IC design flow and EDA toolchain, from schematic design and pre-layout simulation to DRC/LVS sign-off and an MPW tape-out workflow overview.

Independent Developer, Computer Science Projects

Self-directed study with MIT OpenCourseWare and other open courses

• Implemented Raft and sharded key-value services in Go, xv6 kernel extensions (copy-on-write, mmap), a TCP/IP stack in C++, BusTub database components (hashing, operators, MVCC), and the Needle autodiff and tensor framework (non-credit).

Student Researcher

Remote project supervised by Prof. Soummya Kar (Carnegie Mellon University) and Assoc. Prof. Qiang Gao (Southeast University)

• Built a Python analysis and visualization pipeline on PM2.5 exposure and respiratory-disease incidence using synthetic data; published in Theoretical and Natural Science.
