About Me
My research interests are generally trustworthy machine learning. I am particularly interested in designing novel machine learning models to improve explainability, fairness, and robustness. I also work on the intersection of machine learning and bioinformatics, healthcare. I'm a recipient of the 2022 NSF CAREER award.
I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 2019, and my advisor is Prof. Heng Huang. Prior to this, I received my bachelor degree from Zhejiang University in 2013.
I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D. students to work on emerging challenges in Machine/Deep Learning and/or Healthcare. Please send me your CV and transcripts if you are interested.
