I am broadly interested in randomized Algorithms and pseudorandomness. Specific areas include big algorithms, learning theory, randomzied matrix algorithms, coding theory, and derandomization.
Bio: Recently, I joined the College of Computer Science in USTC. Before joining USTC, I was an assistant professor in the CS department of George Mason University. Previously, I obtained my Ph.D. in the University of Texas at Austin, fortunately advised by Professor David Zuckerman, and spent two years as a postdoc fellow in the theory group of Northwestern University. Prior to Austin, I received my bachelor's degree from the Yao Class at Tsinghua University.
