Greetings! This is Shuang Liang | 梁爽

Currently, I’m a second year research post graduate student at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, working with the very nice Prof. Han Wang. Before HKU, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from School of Physics and Technology, Wuhan University, advised by Prof. Shengjun Yuan and Prof. Shunping Zhang. I also spent a wonderful time as a Machine Learning Engineer intern at Beijing Rama Alpaca Technology Company under the supervision of Dr. Guo Zhang and in collaboration with Prof. Yingcong Chen and Prof. Yuan Yuan in the last semester of my undergraduate study.

I am dedicated to becoming a full-stack engineer in the field of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE), as I have bottom-up experiences from AI perception algorithms, electronic system architecture, and device physics. My research spans co-design of AI chip architectures with efficient vision algorithms and multimodal foundation models for real-world deployment.

Interesting facts about myself

• In Chinese context, my name has the same meaning of the word “cool”, which refers to the pleasant weather of the season I was born. It’s actually a girly name so that people often mistake me as a girl before they meet me. My preferred name is Tim, which is my English name but not part of my legal name.
• I spent my childhood and adolescence along the majestic Yellow River, where the waters whispered tales of ancient civilizations. My college years unfolded beside the mighty Yangtze River, a flowing testament to China’s enduring spirit and progress. Now, I find myself working beside the vibrant Pearl River, where the currents echo the pulse of modernity and innovation.
• Music fills my spare time in daily life. I love country music and Chinese folk, despite I can’t play guitar well. I also love EDM and am a big fan of Kygo, Martin Garrix, The Chainsmokers, and Avicii. I’m also a fan of Taylor Swift, Adele, Billie Eilish, and Beyoncé. You can always find interesting topics with me regarding music from various genres.
• My MBTI personality is INFP, so please forgive me if I seem shy and introverted at first. I become pretty outgoing once we get to know each other.
