Background
Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Florida State University
Research interests include: Efficient Machine Learning (model compression for DNNs and LLMs, differentiable neural architecture search)
Efficient and Safe Cross-Modal Learning (adversarial attack and defense on cross-modal data, efficient vision-language transformers and cross-modal DNNs)
Policy Gradient Methods for Reinforcement Learning (variance-reduced policy gradient methods based on momentum techniques and mirror descent)
Zeroth-order optimization methods, fairness in deep learning, and interpretation-guided models
