Background
  • Research interests: designing machine learning algorithms that provide theoretical performance guarantees and align with human values and societal goals. Particularly interested in combining the aspect of gaining machine learning knowledge with an orientation towards making machine learning usable and useful for high-stakes decision-making, such as healthcare, digital forensics, finance, climate, policy, and law.
Miscellany
  • Personal interests: spent four years in Beijing and Tianjin before studying abroad in Newfoundland, where it used to snow in June (no longer due to global warming).
