About Me

Hi :D ! I’m a first-year Ph.D. student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, advised by Prof. Zhizheng Wu. I spent my undergraduate studies at Fudan University, majoring in software enginnering, with Prof. Bihuan Chen and Prof. Kaifeng Huang.

Beyond academia, I’m an amateur music producer with over 2 million plays on netease cloud music. In my free time, I enjoy playing rhythm games like osu! and watching slice-of-life (iyashikei) anime like miss kobayashi’s dragon maid (i like elma very much).

Research Interests

Audio Enhancement: speech/singing voice enhancement (de-noise, de-reverb, super-resolution, etc.), music restoration
Music Generation: singing voice generation/conversion, accompaniment generation, controllable music generation
