Biography

I am currently a second year PhD student at CMS department, Caltech, where I am very fortunate to be advised by Yisong Yue and Yang Song. My primary research interests lie in both practical and theoretical aspects of machine learning, and I enjoy making machine learning algorithms more robust, efficient, and powerful. My recent research focuses on posterior sampling methods for diffusion models.

I like playing piano and I especially enjoy playing the songs from animes. I am also a fan of chess and photography.

Selected Projects

Distributed Robust Principal Component Analysis
The first distributed robust principal component analysis algorithm with some convergence guarantees.
Distributed Robust Principal Component Analysis
Comprehensive and distinguishable graph-linked embedding for multi-omics single-cell data integration
It solve the indistinguishability of aggregating multi-omics data on the graph for the graph-linked embedding. Besides, it enriches the multi-omics information of graph embedding by using multiple aggregators in the GNN
Comprehensive and distinguishable graph-linked embedding for multi-omics single-cell data integration
Traffic at Peak Hours - A Game Theory View
Analyze an illustrative traffic game using game theory and queuing theory. We show how excessive competition to limited resources could lead to a dramatic decrease of social welfare.
