Hi! I’m Liu Yichao, currently a first year master student in School of Computing at NUS.

Education

• B.Arch. at Tsinghua University, 2024
• M.Comp. at National University of Singapore, 2026 (expected)

Research Topics

• Machine Learning
• Recommendation Systems

Interests

• Coding. TBH, as student in a computing school, life would be extremely hard if you don't enjoy coding lol.
• Swimming. Gladly swimming pools are almost everywhere in Singapore.
• Guitar. Well... at least used to be. Wish some day I may pick it up again.
• Gaming. But with hopelessly terrible skill, especially in FPS/RTS games qaq.
• Reading. I'm a big fan of Louis Cha's wuxia novels (my favorite The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber & Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils), and also books about politics and history.

Some other stuffs

Honestly, I do get a leg up from my alma maters, both of which are really kinda famous. But I'm really not as clever and outstanding as most of my schoolmates; I'm just a pretty average guy, and even made a wrong decision for my undergrad major😂. Architecture design was really not my cup of tea, and I was struggling with it for a long time until I started to think it's not my fault or lack of abilities, but just a wrong choice.

Luckily for me, I was able to fix it in time, and received a lot of encouragement and positive feedback afterwards. I'm really grateful for firmly deciding to abandon the sunk costs. Now I'm here, in NUS SoC, and enjoying student life again. I'm still struggling but this time I'm more confident and determined, at least coding seems much more interesting and easier for me than designing a building😆.
