Welcome to Tarik Von's garbage collection station.

👋 Hi there! I am Guanbo Feng (also known as Tarik Von), currently an MPhil student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) 🎓. I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Technology from Lanzhou University ~~(Project 985, technically.)~~ in 2026.

My academic interests broadly lie at the intersection of natural language processing, large language models, multimodal retrieval, and time-series representation learning, with prior research experience in affective computing and mobile sensing.
