CS Ph.D. candidate @ HKU
szhao [at] cs [dot] hku [dot] hk


I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Kenneth K.Y. Wong and Dr. Kai Han. Before that, I obtained my B.E. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

My research focuses on generative models and representation learning.

🙋 I am actively seeking internship and full-time positions.
