About Me

I am currently a senior machine learning engineer at Snap. I received my Ph.D. from Oden Institute, UT Austin, advised by Rachel Ward. My research focuses on understanding optimization and generalization in deep learning. In particular, I am interested in adaptive stochastic gradient descent algorithms, generalization of overparameterized systems, sparse random feature models, and robust learning. Before joining UT Austin, I received my bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Zhejiang University, China. And I was an exchange student at Lund University, Sweden, during Fall 2015.
