Hi~, I’m a first-year Ph.D. student at the School of Integrated Circuits in the Nanjing University (NJU), supervised by the Associate Prof Ningmu Zou. Previously I received my B.S. degree in 2020 and my M.S. degree in 2023, at the School of Computer Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT).

My research interests is include:

• AI for Chips (Layout Hotspot Detection, Mask Optimization, Wafer Defect Detection)
• AI for Remote Sensing (Small Object Detection/Segmentation in Remote Sening Image)
• Deep Learning for Computer Vision.

I’m current working on AI for Chips. I have published 10+ papers with .
