I do what I say I will do.


👋 About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Hong Kong Baptist University, advised by Prof. Bo Han in the TMLR Group.
I am exploring and learning knowledge across various fields, trying to create more interesting and inspiring works. Currently, my research centers on advancing machine intelligence, specifically through developing frontier foundation models and agentic systems.
I am looking for corporation oppotunity, please feel free to contact me via evfxie@gmail.com if you have interests.
