I am currently a first-year Master’s student at College of Computing & Data Science, Nanyang Technological University(NTU), supervised by Prof. Eng Siong Chng. Prior to this, I received my B.Eng. degree from Jinan University in 2025. My research interests lie in speech processing, with a particular focus on developing efficient and high-quality spoken dialogue systems applications. I am also keen on exploring the capabilities of audio-LLM.
