Before graduate school
I received H.B.Sc. with high distinction from the University of Toronto in November 2023. During my undergrad, I worked on the following projects:
- Recursive program synthesis, with Dr. Victor Nicolet and Prof. Azadeh Farzan;
- Test concretization in model-based testing, with Dr. Lina Marsso and Nick Feng.
I also assisted with a research about the use of proof assistants, particularly Lean, in math education, led by Dr. Kitty Yan.
Prior to university, I did competitive programming and won a silver medal in National Olympiad in Informatics, China, 2017.
