About Me

I am a Algorithm Engineer at Chn Energy Digital Intelligence Technology Development (Beijing) CO., LTD. In 2020, I was admitted to the master’s program at the University of Science and Technology of China, ranking first in my major. I graduated in 2023 and was recognized as an Outstanding Graduate. Prior to that, I received my bachelor’s degree from North China Electric Power University.

Research Interests

My research focuses on the exciting field of image enhancement and its practical applications. By improving the quality of low-light or otherwise suboptimal images, this work enables more accurate analysis and decision-making in areas such as surveillance, medical imaging, and remote sensing.
