Xinheng "Asher" Ding | 丁欣恒

Hi, I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student in Intelligent Systems Engineering (Computer Engineering track) at Indiana University Bloomington, supervised by Dr. Dingwen Tao and Dr. Fengguang Song.

Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from the Department of Automation at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).

🎯 I am striving to grow into a professional, active, and influential researcher. If you have any suggestions, comments, critiques, encouragement, or collaboration opportunities, feel free to share them with me—I would greatly appreciate it.(^_^)
