About Me

I am currently a PhD student at the Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute at School of Informatics in University of Edinburgh, proud to be supervised by Prof. Tiejun Ma. I finished my Master by Research degree (2021-2022) at the Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation in University of Edinburgh with Prof. Shay Cohen and my bachelors degree at University of Edinburgh as well.

Since the advent of large language models (LLMs), my recent research has primarily focused on applying LLMs and learning-to-rank models in financial applications. I also have experience in fundamental research on deep learning based ranking algorithms, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and financial synthetic data generation (SDV). Before LLMs emerged, I researched language model pretraining using mathematical corpora and syntactic parsing.

Additionally, I have interned as a researcher at Huawei Technologies Research & Development (UK) Ltd and The Alan Turing Institute. I have also contributed to teaching several courses related to machine learning and natural language processing at the University of Edinburgh.
