"山川异域，日月同天"
I am a CS PhD student @ NYU Courant (SH), supervised by Prof. Hongyi Wen. My primary research interest lies in the Personalized Education System and AI-based Accessible Design for neurodiversity (e.g. ADHD, ASD, etc.).

I dedicate two hours each week to help neurodiverse individuals with learning and education challenges. Please briefly describe your experience, status and the difficulties you are facing, plus your preferred method of communication (via email, WeChat, Zoom meeting, etc.) in your email, and send it to my personal email: [6+1]nutnut[at]gmail[dot]com. I will respond within 2-3 days upon receiving your message. My consultations are free. If you wish to donate, you can directly contribute to the Spring Bud Project, which supports the education of underprivileged girls.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2022. So please excuse my (maybe too) wild imagination and frequent moments of sudden, deep contemplation :)
Basketball is my another life. I played for Imperial College London Men's Basketball Team during 2021~2022 and Harmonia College Men's Basketball Team during 2023~2025.
You can also find my photography work in my Instagram. They are about my attempts to find and understand the implict beauty and harmony in ordinary life.
