Biography

I am currently a fourth-year PhD candidate in Scalable Analytics Institute (ScAi), Department of Computer Science at University of California, Los Angeles. My advisors are Yizhou Sun and Wei Wang.

Before coming to UCLA, I graduated in 2017 from Department of Automation, School of Information Science and Technology, Tsinghua University.
