Ph.D. candidate in math at University of Wisconsin-Madison

I am a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison, working with Prof. Hanbaek Lyu. Alongside my Ph.D., I also earned a Master’s degree in computer science from the same institution.

My research focuses on large-scale optimization, where I developed and analyzed various methods including:

  • Block optimization for nonconvex problems
  • Riemannian optimization
  • Stochastic optimization
  • Trust-region methods

I am also interested in applying these optimization techniques to real-world problems, especially in the field of machine learning.
