Recently concluded a productive week in Guangzhou, CN as part of GDUFS' SPARK program! Led workshops on News Video Packaging and Leveraging LLMs in Journalism, and had the privilege of speaking at the opening ceremony event. It was an excellent opportunity to reconnect with my former university.

Graduation - May 12, 2023. Incredible, looking back. I do not recall whether anyone remarked on this at the time, but graduation turns out to be just another milestone on the journey. Now I'm one year into my tenure clock - the next milestone. No destination, only journey. #phdlife #milestonemoment

A milestone moment from Research Gate. 300 reads! I have no idea of that is good or not, but Research Gate suggests it is. Sooooo 🥳
