Differential Privacy for Inference in the Debiased LASSO Model (Supervised by Prof. Xinzhou GUO, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, 09/2024-Present)
- Worked on asymptotic normality theory for a method combining differentially private debiased LASSO with bootstrap techniques to address selection bias.
- Studied inference methods for multimodal EEG learning under differential privacy constraints.
Trade-off Between Privacy and Accuracy of Synthetic Data (Supervised by Prof. Junhui WANG, Chinese University of Hong Kong, 01/2024-01/2025)
- 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.
- Designed a penalty-based algorithm using the proposed privacy metric to balance privacy protection and downstream task accuracy.
- Developed a GAN algorithm under the proposed privacy metric, improving downstream task accuracy while maintaining privacy protection.

COMP2011 - Programming with C++ (Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, HKUST, 09/2024-12/2024)
- Led laboratory sessions and supported postgraduate teaching assistants by addressing student questions and maintaining high-quality lab instruction.
- Contributed to lab curriculum development through pre-release checks, troubleshooting, and optimization of practical learning materials.
- Assisted in organizing and managing grading sessions after midterm and final examinations, ensuring fair and accurate assessment.
Math Support Center (Undergraduate Student Tutor, HKUST, 09/2024-12/2024)
- Provided comprehensive mathematics tutoring and knowledge structuring for HKUST undergraduates across all four years of study.
- Provided technical support for various mathematics courses to HKUST undergraduates across all four years of study.

Computer Department, Investment Research Center, Essence Securities Co., Ltd. (Assistant Analyst, Shanghai / Online, 06/2023-09/2023)

I am the founder and leader of the “HKUST Notes Collection Center”, a student-run website dedicated to sharing self-written lecture notes across various subjects.
I am writing a linear algebra note based on my handwritten course notes. Here is the draft.
I was a student tutor at the Math Support Center at HKUST, providing drop-in tutoring support for math courses.
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.
