👋 About Me

I am currently a PhD student in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington (since March 2025), supervised by Bastiaan Kleijn and Felix Yan. My research focuses on:

  • Diffusion models for speech enhancement, especially under low-latency, real-time constraints.
  • Broader interests in signal processing and generative models.

Prior to my PhD, I obtained a Master’s degree in Information and Communication Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), and a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Xidian University.
