About me...

Hello, I am currently a Postgraduate Research Student at Heriot-Watt University supervised by Prof. Lynne Baillie and Dr. Wei Pang, focusing on Explainable AI, AI fairness, and Human-Computer Interaction. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Information Science and Technology from The Sichuan University of Science and Engineering in 2018. And in 2019, I got a Master's degree of Artificial Intelligence from the University of Aberdeen, with distinction. Following my graduation, I gained valuable industry experience, served in a game development company and a software company's research lab for two and a half years. After that, I received a full scholarship and start to pursue my Ph.D.

My personal interests are mostly around game development and AI algorithm research. While I may not have any significant achievements yet, my passion for these fields remains existing. Recently, I want to learning to play the piano, but does this seem like I'm not very focused on my research?

The cat in the corner?

BTW, in the bottom right corner is my cat, named "Yi Qian Wu" (due to an unexpected Rabies vaccine cost of 1,500 yuan on the day I found him, after he scratched me). He's quite fat now, around 6kg. But, if you like, please feed him a donut, he won't gain any more weight here! And DO NOT feed the realworld cat with any donuts, it is not good.
