About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University (currently on leave), and I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Sun-Yuan Kung. I am also the founder of Elfen AI, where we build secure agentic infrastructure and automation systems for manufacturing, legacy supply chains, and defense. My research focuses on machine learning, particularly in model compression and efficient fine-tuning of large language models. Additionally, I have been awarded the Gordon Wu Fellowship from Princeton University.
