I am an Assistant Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Utah since July 2018. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University, hosted by Prof. Vahid Tarokh. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, San Diego in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Young-Han Kim. I received my B.E. with the highest distinction from the School of Telecommunications Engineering at Xidian University, China, in 2008.
My research area lies at the intersection of statistical signal processing, information theory, and machine learning. Specific topics include resource-efficient distributed testing and computing for large-scale data, trustworthy machine learning under distribution shifts, learning from non-stationary time series, and their applications to computational biology, internet of things (IoT), and healthcare.
