About Me

I am currently a senoir research scientist at Tencent. I received my Ph.D. from Tsinghua Univeristy in June 2022, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yong Jiang and Prof. Shu-tao Xia. I was also co-supervised by Prof. Yisen Wang. Prior to this, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University in June 2017. I joined Tencent in July 2022. Before that, I was an intern in the Tencent AI Lab and Tencent Zhuque Lab from July to November 2019 and February to June 2022.

My general research interest is convex/non-convex optimization and robust machine learning – with a special focus on building ML systems which are data-efficient and robust, especially for commercial foundation models.
