I am a PhD student at School of Computing, National University of Singapore advised by Kuldeep S. Meel.

My research interests center on SAT solving and model counting, with a particular focus on hashing-based approximate model counting algorithms and SAT solving that involves XOR constraints.

I am dedicated to advancing the integration of probabilistic and logical reasoning. To this end, on the one hand, I employ causal reasoning to gain a deeper understanding of how SAT solvers work and leverage machine learning to enhance SAT-solving performance. On the other hand, I utilize SAT solvers and model counters to verify the properties of binarized neural networks.

Before joining Meel Group, I received a BEng in Computer Science from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2020.
