I am currently on the 2024-2025 academic job market and looking for faculty or postdoc position openings in IEOR/Applied Math/ECE/CS/Data Science and related fields. Feel free to contact me for any opportunities.

Brief Biography

I am now a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Adrian S. Lewis. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher hosted by Program in the Foundations and Applications of Mathematical Optimization and Data Science (MODS) at Lehigh University, where I worked closely with Prof. Frank E. Curtis. In 2022, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCLA, under the supervision of Prof. Lieven Vandenberghe. Prior to that, I received Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Hong Kong.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in the mathematical foundations of data science, with primary focuses on theory and algorithms for large-scale optimization problems from engineering and data science and machine learning for graphical data. My research interests broadly include

  • Convex and nonconvex optimization

  • Distributed (and decentralized) optimization

  • Constrained stochastic optimization

  • Artificial intelligence and scientific machine learning (especially on graphical data)

  • Mathematical foundations of data science
