About me

Welcome to my academic website! I am currently pursuing a PhD degree in Sociology with a concentration in computational social science at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). I am supervised by Prof. TAM Tony Hong Wing and Prof. ZHU Ling now. My recent research focuses on social trust, social perception, and LLM social simulation.

Before I joined CUHK, I got my computer science degree at Peking University and worked at Tencent for three years. I believe motivation is the most powerful strength to drive one person onside, and I am thrilled to work with those self-motivated and well-organized person.

Research Interests
