About Me

I am a fifth year PhD student in the Physics Department at Univerisity of Michigan. I am also a MS student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. I am advised by Professor Jieping Ye.

My primary research focus is on deep learning and reinforcement learning, especially the application of it on traffic data. Before that I have worked on graph-based machine learning and data mining, particularly graph summarization and graph clustering where I developed graph mining algorithms that help better understand the underlying graph organization and making sense of it.

Generally I'm interested in large-scale data science projects that help the end users make sense of large amounts of data, such as finding interesting patterns, detecting anomalies, and visualizing important connections in real-world data.

I am seeking for research internship of Summer 2017. You can check out my CV here.
