About me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the Southern University of Science and Technology.
I obtained my PhD degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University under the supervision of Prof. Shuai Li. During my PhD, I received the Baidu Scholarship for 2023 (only 10 receipts worldwide). Before that, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Software engineering from Shandong University (1/318), and worked as a research intern at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Tencent Wechat, Microsoft Research Asia, and Alibaba Damo Academy.
I am broadly interested in developing theoretically guaranteed algorithms for sequential decision-making problems, with a particular focus on multi-armed bandits and reinforcement learning, as well as their applications in online experimentation and recommendation systems.
I am always looking for visiting students, research assistants, and postdocs. Please contact me if you are interested.
