I am a Research Scientist at Meta.
I was a Ph.D. student in Department of Computer Science at University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Aidong Zhang.
I obtained my B.S. degree in Mathematics at Fudan University and I was in the PhD program in Department of Statistics at University of Virginia. I spent summers doing internships in Meta and Amazon.
My research covers a variety of topics in Machine Learning and Data Mining, including federated learning [NeurIPS'23, NeurIPS'23, AAAI'24], AutoML [TKDD'23, KDD'22, KDD'21], and adversarial attacks [KDD'23, KDD'20].
