About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow working with Prof. Defeng Sun in the Department of Applied Mathematics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, focusing on mathematical programming and machine learning–including algorithms for large-scale optimization problems, semidefinite programming relaxation, and deep neural networks. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Mathematics (Operations Research, Mathematical Programming) from Department of Mathematical Sciences at Tsinghua University in January 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Wenxun Xing.
I am currently on the job market, open to opportunities as a:
• Researcher in Operations Research and Optimization
• Quantitative Researcher
• Researcher in Artificial Intelligence
• Postdoctoral Fellow, Research Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor
