Bio:

I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate at University of Maryland, College Park, working with Prof. Heng Huang. Previously, I received my PhD from Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University at Buffalo, advised by Prof. Mingchen Gao.


Research Interest:

Meta learning,   Trustworthy Machine Learning,  Continual Learning,  Bayesian learning.


My research interests primarily focus on:


Trustworthy Meta-Learning


(1): Uncertainty quantification 


(2): Robust to task-distribution shift 


(3): Data-free meta-learning


Trustworthy Continual Learning


(1): Distributionally robust continual learning


(2): Corruption-robust continual learning
