Academic Achievements
  • Selected Papers:
  • - 'Iteratively reweighted kernel machines efficiently learn sparse functions', Preprinted.
  • - 'Emergence in non-neural models: grokking modular arithmetic via average gradient outer product', ICML 2025 (Oral).
Research Experience
  • Currently an IFDS postdoc fellow at the University of Washington, working with Dmitriy Drusvyatskiy and Maryam Fazel.
Education
  • PhD: Computer Science from UCSD, advised by Mikhail Belkin; BS: Mathematics from Zhejiang University.
Background
  • Research Interests: optimization and mathematical foundations of machine learning. Research focuses on understanding the dynamics of over-parameterized neural networks, particularly in the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) and feature learning regimes.
Miscellany
  • Currently on the job market for full-time positions.
