About me

Hi! I am a first-year PhD student in Siebel School of Computing and Data Science, UIUC, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Tong Zhang. Prior to that, I did my undergraduate in School of Data Science, Fudan University, under the valued supervision of Professor Luo Luo. My research interest lies in the intersection of machine learning and optimization. Currently, I am particularly interested in designing practical algorithms for modern machine learning and exploring theoretical explanations for the effectiveness of practical algorithms.

In my spare time, I love to play badminton and go swimming. I also love to play Go, which is an ancient strategy board game. The picture here was taken when I was playing it.
