I am a third year PhD student in the School of Industrial Engineering, Purdue University under the supervision of Prof. Gesualdo Scutari . Prior to joining the group, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen.
My research interests include continuous (distributed, stochastic) optimization and their applications to problems appeared in machine learning, operation research, control and signal processing. Besides, I am also open to the research topics on Dynamic Programming, Reinforcement learning, Game Theory and etc.
I am actively looking for an internship or visiting opportunity in Summer 2025/2026.
Outside of research, I am interested in hiking, weight lifting, basketball and I am a freshman in bouldering.
