王昱然

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Computing, NUS, advised by Prof. Lin Shao. Prior to that, I spent a very enjoyable master’s time at Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Hao Dong and Dr. Ruihai Wu. Earlier, I studied at Chien-Shiung Wu College, Southeast University, where I was nominated for the Most Influential Graduate honor of Southeast University.
