I'm a first-year Ph.D. student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ), supervised by
Professor Zhizheng Wu. My research interest is to
study Music from the perspective of Artificial Intelligence. In particular, my ongoing
works focus on Singing Voice Conversion (SVC). To know more about SVC, you can read this
tutorial.
Before CUHK-SZ, I received my master's degree (2019-2022) at the Institute of Computing Technology
Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT, CAS), working on computational social science, especially on Fake
News Detection and Fact Checking.
