About Me

I am a postdoctoral research assistant in the Department of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, working under the guidance of Dr. Soheil Kolouri. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Delaware in 2022, during which I had the privilege of studying machine learning and statistics under Dr. Dominique Guillot and Dr. Cencheng Shen. Prior to that, I obtained my M.Sc. in Mathematics from Marshall University in West Virginia in 2016, where I was advised by Dr. Scott A. Sarra. I completed my B.Sc. in Medical Imaging at Mudanjiang Medical University, China, in 2012.

My research primarily focuses on optimal transport computation and its applications in machine learning and data science. During my Ph.D., I worked on measure concentration and information theory. More recently, I have been exploring the intersection of optimal transport with generative models, time series analysis, and other domains, with a particular interest in broader scientific applications, including bioinformatics.
