Bio:

I am currently working as a research scientist at Facebook. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, University of Rochester. I was a research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Ji Liu. Before that, I received the Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, and the Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Beihang University. My current research interests focus on machine learning, particularly deep neural network compression, feature selection, sparse optimization and reinforcement learning. HERE is my LinkedIn profile.
