HELLO! 👋

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST. I am working with Prof. Song Guo at HK PEILab.

My research lies at democratizing access to AI by harnessing the combined potential of cloud, edge, and end-computing nodes. The goal is to deliver AI services that are cost-effective, trustworthy, and equitable, enabling diverse users and applications to access advanced AI technologies.
