About me
I am a PhD student at the Department of Computer Sciences, UW-Madison since 2021. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Christos Tzamos and Prof. Ilias Diakonikolas. I obtained my B.S. in Mathematics in 2020 from the Department of Mathematics at Nanjing University. Before officially starting my Ph.D. study, I spent a year as a visiting student at ITCS, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
Research
My research interest lies in the union of theoretical machine learning, theoretical computer science, and optimization. My recent works focus on the adaptivity and robustness of learning problems.
