About me

I am now a research assistant professor at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC). I received my PhD in Computer Science at Northwestern University in 2023, advised by Prof. Konstantin Makarychev. Before that, I completed my undergrad in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Fudan University.

Research Interest

I have broad interests in various aspects of theoretical computer science, mathematics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. My research spans approximation algorithms, machine learning, graph algorithms, and algorithmic game theory, with the goal of designing algorithms for data analysis and decision-making in real-world applications. My current research focuses on developing efficient, reliable, and interpretable machine learning algorithms for data analysis and decision-making, particularly in high-stakes settings. I pursue this goal through work on interpretable learning, uncertainty quantification, and algorithmic methods for legal applications.

I am on the job market for 2025–2026.
