Hello! I am a fifth-year PhD candidate at Cornell ORIE advised by Professor Damek Davis. I am actively working with my wonderful mentors Lin Xiao and Sho Yaida from FAIR to develop efficient optimizers, study scaling laws and analyze natural data structure in the context of deep learning.

I received my degree of MMath in Combinatorics and Optimization at University of Waterloo, where I had the privilege to be advised Professor Steve Vavasis on sum-of-norms clustering for my thesis. Prior to my graduate studies, I obtained my BEng in Engineering Systems and Design at Singapore University of Technology and Design.

Outside of office, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing and going out for adventures with my partner Zhi (click out his instagram for beautiful photos we took during our trips). If you have a keen interest in promoting fairness within societal systems and are contemplating potential solutions, please check out some fascinating work by Zhi and see how he identifies and addresses disparities using quantitative methods.
