Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford ICME. My current research interest lies in machine learning theory, in particular Federated Learning, Optimization and Deep Learning theory. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Tengyu Ma. Before coming to Stanford, I graduated from Peking University with B.S. degrees in Computational Mathematics and Computer Science.
