About Me

I am a principal engineer at Numbers Station working on AI platforms for enterprise data automation. Previously I was an applied scientist in Amazon Web Services AI Labs working on Kendra. I received my Ph.D. in Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering(ICME) from Stanford Univeristy, where I was co-advised by Chris R‌é and Michael Mahoney. My research interest lies in randomized linear algebra, optimization and machine learning. In particular I am interested in leveraging tools from randomized linear algebra to provide efficient and scalable solutions for large-scale optimization and learning problems. Before joining Stanford, I recieved my B.S. in Mathematics from Fudan University.
