Hi! I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University, hosted by Toniann Pitassi and Richard Zemel. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Harvard University under the guidance of Cynthia Dwork. Prior to Harvard, I received my B.Sc. in Mathematics from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University. 

My research sits at the frontier of AI and machine learning, with a focus on shaping how learning systems are designed, understood, and deployed. I am particularly interested in developing principled theoretical foundations that translate into practical tools, advancing learning systems that are not only efficient, but also reliable, collaborative, and scalable. More recently, I have been interested in deploying these tools to biomedical data and embodied AI.

If you are interseted in working with me,  you are welcome to send me an email with your CV and research plans in mind.
