Short Bio

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham , where I am delving into the field of software system optimization. Under the guidance of Prof. Tao Chen and Prof. Miqing Li, I am dedicated to developing cutting-edge multifidelity configuration tuning algorithms, specifically designed to enhance the performance of expensive optimization processes within software systems.

I embarked on my academic journey in Evolutionary Computation at Shenzhen University, mentored by Prof. Qiuzhen Lin during my master’s studies in Computer Technology.
