I will join Meta as a research scientist in May 2025. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Merced, advised by Prof. Wan Du. Prior to UC Merced, I received my B.E. from Tsinghua University.

My research focuses on machine learning for networked systems, with hands-on experience in Generative AI and Time Series Causal Learning. You can find my CV here.
