About

I am a Ph.D. student in Chemistry at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen), working in the group of Prof. Weitang Li. My research lies at the intersection of quantum computing, theoretical chemistry, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on developing quantum algorithms and machine learning methods for molecular simulation.

Prior to joining CUHK-Shenzhen, I obtained my M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering from the National University of Singapore and my B.Eng. in Macromolecular Materials and Engineering (Faculty of Chemistry) from Sun Yat-sen University.
