Prior to this, I was a research assistant at <a href="https://www.hku.hk/">The University of Hong Kong</a> working with Prof. <a href="https://fwm94.github.io/">Weiming Feng</a>, and a research associate at <a href="https://shanghai.nyu.edu/">New York University Shanghai</a> working with Prof. <a href="https://jie-xue.github.io/">Jie Xue</a>. </p> <p> Before that, I received my bachelor s degree in computer science from <a href="https://ist.nenu.edu.cn/">School of Information Science and Technology</a>, <a href="https://www.nenu.edu.cn/">Northeast Normal University</a>, where I had the privilege of being extensively guided by Prof. <a href="http://js.nenu.edu.cn/teacher/index.php?zgh=2017900086">Zhiguo Fu</a>. During my undergraduate years, I also benefited greatly from the guidance of Prof. <a href="https://tcs.nju.edu.cn/yinyt/">Yitong Yin</a> at Nanjing University. </p> <p> I love scientific research. My interest lies in theoretical computer science (or slightly broader, mathematics in computer science), with a particular focus on topics related to discrete probability, including sampling and counting algorithms based on MCMC methods, and learning Markov random fields. I am also interested in computational geometry. </p> <p class="text-muted fst-italic small"> Beyond research, I also like to see things from a theoretical perspective, such as social science, art, literature.
