Biography

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Sea AI Lab (SAIL). I received my Ph.D. degree from TSAIL Group in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jun Zhu. Before that, I received my B.S. degree of Mathematics and Physics from Tsinghua University in 2017. I collaborated with Prof. Stefano Ermon from February, 2020 to June, 2020 (online) in the Computer Science Department, Stanford University. I was a visiting student from July, 2016 to September, 2016 in the Computational Biology Department, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Wei Wu.

My research interests span the areas of machine learning, including trustworthy machine learning and deep generative models. My research was supported by MSRA Fellowship and Baidu Scholarship.

My PhD Thesis (in Chinese) has been selected as CAAI Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award.

We are currently hiring Research Interns working on Trustworthy AI for Large Models. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested and meet the minimum Requirements.
