👋 Hi, I’m Linhan Xia

Ph.D. Student · School of Industrial & Systems Engineering · University of Oklahoma

I’m Linhan Xia (夏霖翰) — you can also call me Chris. I was born and raised in the People’s Republic of China, and I received my bachelor’s degree from Hong Kong Baptist University. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Oklahoma, where my work centers on model-assisted CAD generation, supervised by Dr. Yifu Li and Dr. Rui Zhu.

Before joining OU, I was a research assistant at ICNLab, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School, working with Prof. Kai Lei. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a research assistant at Beijing Normal University–Hong Kong Baptist University United International College (UIC) under the supervision of Prof. Ricky Yuen-tan Hou.
