Teaching

Mentoring

I'm looking for highly motivated Ph.D students and Postdocs to join my research group. Interested candicates can send me an email with your CV, research experience, past accomplishments, and a brief description of research ideas you want to pursue. Students with strong background are encouraged to apply for the HK PhD Fellowship Scheme. I may not respond due to the large volume of emails I receive.

Fun

On my free time, I enjoy workout and travel. I shoot street and portrait photography. I love many kinds of authentic food.
