Biography

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow working with Prof Iman Shames at the CIICADA Lab, School of Engineering, Australian National University. Prior to that, I received a PhD degree in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM) in 2022, an MPhil degree in SEEM in 2018, and a BSc degree in Mathematics in 2016, all from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. My PhD and MPhil degrees were both supervised by Prof Anthony Man-Cho So. My research focuses on optimization methods and its interplay with data science, signal processing, machine learning and operations research.
