I am a joint postdoc at UC Berkeley & Caltech, working with Prof. Jennifer Chayes, Prof. Christian Borgs, and Prof. Anima Anandkumar.
I got my CS Ph.D. degree with at Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute (AKA Mila) and Université de Montréal, advised by Prof. Jian Tang. Meanwhile, I have close collaboration with Prof. Hongyu Guo.
I got my CS master’s degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was the graduate researcher at Morgridge Institute for Research. During my stay in UW-Madison, I started my first research project and was fortunately advised by Prof. Anthony Gitter, Prof. Yingyu Liang, and Prof. Dimitris Papailiopoulos. Proir to that, I got my bachelor’s degree from Shandong University.

I also want to share some inspiring research values (special thanks to Weiyang)
- Focus on creating novel ideas, not publishing papers
- Follow curiosity and passion, not trends
- Ideas are not owned, but come with debts to those who came before
- Ideas become stronger when shared, discussed and criticized
- Life is surprisingly short, so solve problems that interest and excite you most
- It is good to be quick, but it is more important to be deep
- Think like an amateur, do as an expert
- Last lecture by Prof. Randy Pausch
- [My research motto] Know me through my work! :)
