Biographie

I received my B.S.E. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2010, and an M.S. degree in Communication Engineering in 2012, both from National Taiwan University. I was a research assistant at the Research Centerfor Information Technology Innovation, Academia Sinica, from 2013 to 2014. I am broadly interested in any theory regarding data analysis, including statistical learning and convex optimization. I also enjoy browsing several branches of mathematics, including the information theory and concentration of measure phenomenon. In 2015 I started my PhD which I completed in 2020. The thesis, entitled “Convergence without convexity: sampling, optimization, and games” was supervised by Prof. Volkan Cevher.
