I am a final year Ph.D. student in computational geophysics, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Tariq Alkhalifah. I received my Master’s degree from Tongji University, advised by Prof. Yuzhu Liu, and Bachelor’s degree from Jilin university. I also worked as a research intern at Microsoft Research AI4Science and Microsoft Research Asia.

My research interests span the areas of physics-informed machine learning, operator learning, seismic modeling, fluid dynamics, weather modeling, full waveform inversion, deep generative models, and efficient and scalable learning algorithms.
