I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering (ISE) of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, fortunately advised by Prof. Ruoyu Sun.

I obtained my bachelor’s degrees in General Mathematics from University of California, Davis in 2017.

My current research focuses on:

• Machine Learning: Neural network pruning and architecture search; Semi-supervised learning networks; Ads automated bidding strategies;
  
• Optimization: Distributed optimization with low communication budget; Nonconvex optimization in min-max and bilevel settings; Efficient algorithms in solving linearly constrained problems.
