I work at L3 Bioinformatics Limited as a senior research scientist in Hong Kong now. I am currently actively involved in the field of bioinformatics algorithm development, deep learning, and genomics research. I have experience coding in Python, C, and C++ for my projects. Feel free to visit my GitHub page for details.

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, the University of Hong Kong in September 2023, supervised by Prof. Ruibang Luo. Prior to that, I received my M. Eng. and B. Eng. degree in Software Engineering at School of Computer Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University.

My research interest includes variant calling, somatic variant detection, third-generation sequencing data analysis, etc. I have published 10+ papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, including Nature Computational Science, Briefings in Bioinformatics, and BMC Bioinformatics.
