I finished my master's in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at UC Berkeley in May 2025, advised by Professor <a href="https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jiantao/">Jiantao Jiao</a>. I also completed my bachelor's degree in computer science at Berkeley. In addition, I've been lucky to mentored by <a href="https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~istoica/">Ion Stoica</a>, <a href="https://banghua.me/">Banghua Zhu</a>, <a href="https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~angelopoulos/">Anastasios Angelopoulos</a>, and <a href="https://infwinston.github.io/">Wei-Lin Chiang</a>.</p>
