About me.
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Central Florida. I am also affiliated with the Artificial Intelligence Initiative.
I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical engineering from The State University of New York at Buffalo in 2023, under the advisory of Prof. Shaofeng Zou, and my B.S. degree in mathematics from Nanjing University in 2019.
Research Interests.
My research interests specialize in machine learning, with a primary focus on reinforcement learning, generative models, and optimization.
Prospective Students.
I am seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students with backgrounds in math, statistics, computer science, or electrical engineering. If you are interested in working with me, please send an email with your CV and transcripts.
Undergraduate and graduate students at UCF are highly encouraged to contact me for research opportunities if you are interested in my work.
Students whom I have never met before, DO NOT cold email me about getting you a grader/TA job. Please ping the department.
