Hi! I am currently a postdoc at Cornell University, working with Prof. Ziv Goldfeld from ECE and Prof. Christina Lee Yu from ORIE. I am honored to be funded by the Center for Applied Mathematics postdoctoral fellowship. Before joining Cornell, I obtained my PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from National University of Singapore in Oct. 2022, advised by Prof. Vincent Y. F. Tan.

My recent research interests lie in the intersection of information theory and machine learning, including but not limited to:

  • Hypothesis testing
  • Inference and estimation
  • Machine learning and statistical learning theory
  • Wireless communications

If you are interested in collaborating with me, please do not hesitate to drop me an email (at the bottom) or drop by  657 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY  !
