I am an Assistant Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston. My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, algorithms, statistical learning, data mining, and graphs, including topics such as:

I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford and my B.Eng. in computer science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I spent about a year as a postdoc within the statistics and data science department at University of Pennsylvania. For more information about me, please look at my cv.

I enjoy working on technically challenging problems, and strive for broader impacts by creating new knowledge and improving access to education. I support accessible and reproducible research. See our experiment codes on GitHub. Here is a list of my recent activities.
