We pursue research in machine learning and optimization. To this end,
we develop theories and algorithms using computational and
mathematical tools. Our ultimate goal is to provide robust and
provable solutions to challenging problems in artificial intelligence,
particularly those in large-scale settings. We are passionate about
translating our findings into practical applications that can benefit
society. For further details on our research directions and ongoing
projects, please refer to the
