Assistant Professor, HKUST(GZ)
I am an Assistant Professor at HKUST(GZ) Fintech Thrust.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the research group led by Prof. Ariel Neufeld at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. I completed my Ph.D. in mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Sotirios Sabanis at the Maxwell Institute Graduate School in Analysis and its Applications (MIGSAA), a Centre for Doctoral Training at Heriot-Watt University and The University of Edinburgh.
My research interest lies in the design of numerical algorithms for non-linear random systems and their real-world applications in, e.g., machine learning and finance. Typical examples include Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for high-dimensional Bayesian inference and Langevin dynamics-based algorithms for stochastic optimization problems in machine learning and finance.
I am looking for highly motivated PhD students with a background in mathematics, statistics, financial engineering, or other related subjects. If you are interested in the position, please contact me via email with your CV and transcripts.
