About Me
I'm a second-year Ph.D. student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign 🌽 advised by Jiaqi Ma. During my PhD, I've had the immense delight of interning with Mahito Sugiyama at National Institute of Informatics 🇯🇵. Previously, I obtained my dual Bachelor degree from University of Michigan 〽️ and Shanghai Jiao Tong University 🇨🇳.
I do machine learning theory with math on graphs (sometimes), with the goal being to draw theoretical insights from practical problems and develop algorithms with provable guarantees and desirable properties (e.g., efficiency, robustness, and fairness).
Additionally, I hold a strong interest in Theoretical Computer Science, especially fast graph algorithms.
