Research project

• Trade-off Between Privacy and Accuracy of Synthetic Data (Supervised by Prof. Junhui WANG, Chinese University of Hong Kong, 01/2024-Present)
  • Developed a privacy metric for generative models, extending the differential privacy examination framework to scenarios where traditional noise addition or model analysis techniques are ineffective.
  • Designing a penalty-based algorithm leveraging the novel privacy metric to balance privacy protection and downstream task accuracy of generated data in model training.
  • Developed a novel GAN algorithm under the proposed privacy metric, achieving improved downstream task accuracy while maintaining robust privacy protection.
• Differential Privacy for Inference in the Debiased LASSO Model (Supervised by Prof. Xinzhou GUO, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, 09/2024-Present)
  • Providing proof of asymptotic normality theorem for a novel method combining differentially private de-biased lasso with bootstrap techniques to effectively address selection bias.
  • Providing proof of asymptotic normality theorem for an innovative method for multimodal EEG learning that integrates differential privacy principles.
• Knowledge Discovery over Database (Supervised by Prof. Raymond Chi Wing WONG, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,02/2023-06/2023)
  • Conducted in-depth analysis and replication of published papers related to time-series.
  • Identified and reported studies that notably enhanced prediction accuracy.
  • Compiled and documented pertinent algorithms and data processing techniques for reference.

Service and leadership

• I am a student tutor at the Math Support Center at HKUST, providing drop-in tutoring support for math courses.
• I am the founder and leader of “HKUST Notes Collection Center”, a student-run website dedicated to sharing self-written lecture notes across various subjects to enhance learning and exploration.
• I am also trying to summarize a note about basic knowledge of linear algebra based on my hand-writing note in the linear algebra course I took. Here is the link of its draft.
• I served as a student representative on the Student Liaison Subcommittee for two consecutive years, advocating for student interests and facilitating communication between students and faculty.
