[July 19, 2024] New preprint "Concrete convergence rates for common fixed point problems under Karamata regularity".
[June 16, 2023] Our paper "Doubly majorized algorithm for sparsity-inducing optimization problems with regularizer-compatible constraints " has been accepted for publication in Computational Optimization and Applications. [link] .
Background
I received my Bachelor degree in July 2010 from Wuhan University, School of Mathematics and Statistics. I started my Master study in September 2010 in Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, and became a PhD candidate there in September 2012, under the supervision of Professor Yu-Hong Dai. I got my PhD degree in Computational Mathematics in July 2015. I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Department of Applied Mathematics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University from March 2016 to August 2018, under the mentorship of Professor Ting Kei Pong. I was a Postdoctoral Researcher from September 2018 to March 2021 in RIKEN AIP Center hosted by Professor Akiko Takeda. I am currently an assistant professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology.
This is my CV.
