I am a fourth-year CS Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Xin Li.
I am broadly interested in (theoretical) computer science. I have been thinking about fundamental questions in the theory of computation, algorithms, and learning; the interaction between mathematics and computer science; as well as theoretical analysis of signature algorithmic questions arising in applications. I am also interested in how AI could contribute to mathematical research.
I’d be happy to discuss my research or potential collaborations—feel free to reach out anytime.
Previously, I was an undergraduate studying CS and Math at University of Hong Kong, where I was lucky to have received guidance from and worked with (chronologically) Prof. Giulio Chiribella, Prof. Zhiyi Huang, and Prof. Shachar Lovett.
