Greeting!

I am a graduate student supervised by Prof. Hui Xiong in the AI Thrust at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) (HKUST(GZ)) , Mainland China.

I am passionate about investment in a broad sense and committed to optimizing the allocation of financial resources to the industries. With over one year of hands-on experience in early-stage venture capital, I have developed strong interest and insight into emerging technologies—especially in AI and biotech.

I enjoy playing yoga, tennis, and drawing in my spare time.

Save time and get the highlights! Grab my CV below:
