Resume/CV (as of Nov. 2021)

Biography

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Evangeline F. Y. Young. Previously, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong in 2019. My research interests lie primarily in the area of VLSI Physical design, to be more specific, floorplanning, placement, and routing. I am also interested in tackling problems using SAT and machine learning approaches.
