I read my PhD in Cambridge Machine Learning Group with Dr. Adrian Weller and Dr. Yingzhen Li. My research was fully funded by the Cambridge Trust Scholarship and supported by a Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship. Previously, I graduated from the MSc AI programme at The University of Edinburgh. I have worked full-time at Alibaba Group on large-scale serving and Microsoft Research on foundation models.
