Hi, everyone. Welcome to my homepage.

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Virginia (UVA), advised by Professor Ferdinando Fioretto. Before that, I completed my M.Phil degree in Computer and Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK Shenzhen), under the supervision of Professor Chenye Wu. I also obtained a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering at Xidian University (XDU).

Research

I am particularly interested in integrating generative AI with optimization to address complex scientific and engineering challenges. Currently, my research topics focus on developing algorithms to ensure the output of diffusion models/flow matching satisfying constraints with provably guarantees.
