Education

• Hong Kong University of Science and Technology — Ph.D. candidate, 2022–present. Hong Kong.
• Columbia University — M.S. in Computer Science, 2019–2021. New York, USA.

Experience

• Futuristic Group Ltd — Founder, 2025–present. Hong Kong.
  • Founded a research lab that trades its own book, running systematic strategies and on-chain market making, with tokenized real-world assets as its main line.
  • The lab’s work is a self-evolving research engine: hypotheses are generated and tested automatically under a frozen evaluation protocol the engine cannot modify, with unseen data managed as a logged, depletable budget.
  • Built the research and trading stack end to end: data infrastructure across venues, a validation framework with walk-forward testing and a pre-deployment audit, and live monitoring that ties realised PnL back to the backtest that authorised the position.
  • Lead strategy research, and set the standard a signal has to clear before it is allowed to trade capital.
• Quanta Edge — Co-founder, 2026–present.
  • Ultra-low-latency trading in Chinese index futures and equity markets, with FPGA-based execution on colocated infrastructure.
  • High-frequency market making for tokenized real-world assets on-chain, together with the low-latency execution stack beneath it.
  • Set the research agenda on the strategy side and build out the trading and engineering team.
• Graphen, Inc., Market Intelligence — Research Assistant, 2020. New York, USA.
  • Reinforcement-learning models for high-frequency FX trading, working on model stability and return.
  • Introduced Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory from psychology into the trading model, matching client risk profiles to strategies.
• Megvii, Algorithm Department — Algorithm Intern, 2018–2019. Beijing, China.
  • Fundamental research on neural networks, focused on the robustness of deep networks used for face recognition.
  • Integrated a decision function into the existing model for optimisation and sample visualisation.

Research

Current work is described on the research page: evaluation design for automated search, the boundary between what a self-improving research system may change and what it must not, and market microstructure.

Honors

• Hong Kong PhD Fellowship, 2022.
• Academic Excellence Award, Tsinghua University, 2016–2018.
