Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

-- Steve Jobs

Zhijie Yan

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, advised by Prof. Li Jiang, since September 2026.

I received my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Beihang University in June 2026, under the supervision of Prof. Zuoxu Wang. I also had the pleasure of collaborating with Prof. Shufei Li. From July 2022 to November 2023, I was a Research Intern at the DISCOVER Lab, Tsinghua University, under the supervision of Prof. Hao Zhao. I received my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics in 2023, under the supervision of Dr. Jifu Chen.
