About Me

I will be joining Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington as a Ph.D. student in Autumn 2026, advised by Jerry Li. I received my B.S. from the Turing Class at Peking University. View my CV (July 2025).

My research interests lie at the intersection of TCS & math with some representative topics including high-dimensional probability, quantum, learning theory, etc. I'm also interested in training real-world deep nets in a more principled way.

During my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to learn from great people across various fields to understand my interests more clearly. I was advised by Shaofeng Jiang on streaming geometric algorithms, Tongyang Li on quantum algorithms, and Zhiyuan Li on deep learning theory.
