About me
I am a Member of Technical Staff at Reflection AI. My background is in machine learning and computer systems.
I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge, where I was advised by Dr. Eiko Yoneki and Prof. Jon Crowcroft. My doctoral research focused on improving the performance of computer systems such as databases and storage.
Before joining Reflection AI, I was a Student Researcher at Google DeepMind in London. Earlier, I co-founded and served as CTO of Powersense Technology Limited in Cambridge.
Prior to Cambridge, I received my Master of Engineering in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and my Bachelor’s Degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from Peking University.

Interests and Activities
Beyond research, I have broad interests in sports, leadership, and long-term community engagement.
I am passionate about tennis and previously served as Captain of the Girton College Men’s 1st Tennis Team at the University of Cambridge. I also won the University Cuppers’ Championship for the college in 2024. More broadly, I enjoy skiing and other outdoor activities, which continue to shape my teamwork, discipline, and leadership style.
I have also been involved in long-term charitable activities since 2015, with a focus on supporting education for children in under-resourced areas. In addition, during my time at Peking University, I served as Director of the Debating Center and as a Co-organizer for the Students’ International Communication Association (SICA), experiences that strengthened my commitment to leadership, communication, and community building.
I also co-founded a startup with Dr. Borong Hu. You can find more details here: Powersense Ltd..
