Research

My research strives to develop efficient, scalable and trustworthy machine learning algorithms to build intelligent learning-enabled networked systems. Towards this goal, I use theoretical tools from machine learning, optimization, and probability, to design rigorous algorithms with provable guarantees that have been deployed in data networks, edge/mobile/cloud computing systems, social networks, and beyond.

I am on the 2023-2024 job market looking for faculty positions. My CV can be found here.

Bio

I am a joint postdoc at Caltech and UMass Amherst, working with Prof. Adam Wierman and Prof. Mohammad Hajiesmaili. I recevied my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2022. I was a member of the LIONS research group advised by Prof. Carlee Joe-Wong. Before that, I received my B.E. in Communication Engineering from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2017.
