About Me
I am Xinyuan Zhang, a final year Ph.D. student in Theory Group in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Nanjing University. I am fortunate to be advised by Yitong Yin.
I am interested in combinatorial structures and algorithms. Currently, I am working on sampling and counting algorithms based on MCMC method.
