Bio

I am currently an assistant professor at The Paula and Gregory Chow Institute for Studies in Economics, Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE), and the School of Economics (SOE) at Xiamen University. From 2022 to 2024, I served as a visiting scholar in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. During this time, I had the privilege of working under the joint supervision of Professor Guang Cheng from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Professor Weijie Su from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to that, I completed my Ph.D. at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where I was advised by Professor Xin Guo from the University of Queensland and Professor Xiaojun Chen from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.


My research interests primarily lie in machine learning, with a focus on foundation models, deep learning, federated learning, learning theory, kernel-based learning, and parametric learning. Additionally, I am interested in privacy-preserving data science, specifically differential privacy and its applications to machine learning. Finally, I am also interested in synthetic data generation, particularly in the context of privacy-preserving generative data. More details about my work and publications can be found on my publications page and my google scholar profile.
