Biography

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison). I am fortunate to work with Prof. Shivaram Venkataraman. Previously, I completed my M.Phil. at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Jeffrey Xu Yu, and my B.S. at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Yunjun Gao.

My research interests are Machine Learning Systems and Data Science
