About me

I graduated with my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of University of Texas at Austin. I was a member of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group and I was advised by Prof. Aryan Mokhtari. I received my B.Sc. in pure and applied mathematics from the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Tsinghua University and my M.Sc. in computational and mathematical engineering from the Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. My research interests generally lie in the theory and applications of optimization. My current research focuses on the development of efficient second-order numerical optimization methods for large-scale machine learning problems.
