Hello, my name is Shizhe Diao and I am now a final-year Ph.D. candidate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), majoring in Computer Science and supervised by Prof. Tong Zhang. My research focuses on pre-training, efficient-tuning, and adaptation of large language models.

Besides programming, I have an immense interest in swimming 🏊, kayaking 🚣, windsurfing 🏄, dinghy sailing ⛵, and stand up paddling!
