Hello, welcome to my homepage! I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) at University of Minnesota Twin Cities, where I am luckily advised by Prof. Shuzhong Zhang. Prior to this, I was a Research Assistant II at the Department of Mathematics, The University of Hong Kong and lucky to work with Dr. Yue Xie. I received my B.S. degree in Mathematics from Zhejiang University.

My current research interests are continuous optimization, stochastic optimization, bilevel optimization as well as optimization problems arising in machine learning, operation research, and reinforcement learning. I am also interested in theory of machine learning and reinforcement learning more recently.

Other parts are under construction right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
