About

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Applied Mathematics at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where I am advised by Prof. Chun Liu and Prof. Ming Zhong (University of Houston). I received my B.Sc. in Computing Mathematics (First Class Honours) from City University of Hong Kong, with a minor in Computer Science.

My research focuses on inverse problems and scientific machine learning (SciML) for complex dynamical systems, with an emphasis on learning hidden mechanisms from incomplete or indirect observations by exploiting mathematical and physical structure. I also work on the mathematical modeling and analysis of multiscale nonlinear systems, including interacting particle systems and PDEs, with applications in biological, physical, and social sciences.
