Background
  • Currently a third-year PhD student in the ECE department at Princeton University. Research interests lie in understanding modern machine learning from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Theoretically, aims to understand the principle of algorithms through tools in mathematics and statistics. Empirically, aims to tackle impactful and challenging application problems through this understanding. Previous research includes topics such as reinforcement learning, generative models, and causal inference.
Miscellany
  • From Shanghai, China. Enjoys cooking and playing Total War when not working. His Erdos number is 5. Can be reached via email or Wechat. All discussions are welcome!
