A Deep Learning Researcher and Data Scientist
I am a self-motivated researcher and data scientist with a strong technical background in deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and large language models (LLMs). I specialize in developing scalable machine learning solutions for real-world applications, with experience spanning both academic research and industry collaborations.
With a Ph.D. in Computer Science from McGill University, I combine rigorous deep learning research with production-level deployment skills. I’m proficient in PyTorch, Hugging Face, and modern ML pipelines, and have mentored graduate students and cross-functional teams.
My work on LLMs involves hands-on experimentation with LLMs, including dataset curation, pretraining, fine-tuning, and building agent-based or retrieval-augmented systems. I am also experienced in applying ML techniques to solve practical problems in NLP and cybersecurity domains—ranging from interpretable malware detection to customer churn prediction.
You can find the 1.7B LLaMA model I trained on my Huggingface collection. My other LLM projects can be found on my first Github account and second Github account and the LLMs I trained/finetuned and the datasets I curated can be found on my Huggingface page.
In addition to academic projects, I’ve taken initiative to bridge the gap between research and business by analyzing real-world datasets on platforms like Kaggle and AICrowd, and participating in job simulations through Forage to better understand the role of data scientists in business environments.
My Other Hobbies
Travelling: I enjoy natural landscapes of the earth. Some dream places for me are Fiji, Caribbean Sea, New Zealand, Austrilia, Alps mountains, Norway, and places like these.
Photography: I like to record the grandeur of nature with my camera. Take a look at my portfolio. I also enjoy watching other photographers’ landscape works on Instagram, Facebook, and 500px.
Reading modern Chinese poem: Xiaosong Gao said “Read poetry or travel: either your body or your soul should be on the way. If your cannot travel, then you can still read poetry.” That’s right. I like peoms written by Haizi (海子), Beidao (北岛), and Chen Yang (杨晨). I like listenining to Chen Yang’s recitation of his own poems and other people’s peoms. His voice soothes me of my nostalgia. I also write poems sometimes which are posted in a secret place.
Watching Hayao Miyazaki’s cartoon movies: Every time I watch his cartoon movie, I recall the beauty and hope of life. I see the sincere goodwill of some human beings. I feel very fortunate to be able to witness his works.
