I moved to Austria for my PhD study. My advisor is Prof. Krishnendu Chatterjee. Previously, I completed my undergraduate work at Zhejiang University in 2022.

My research focuses on the intersection of optimization, games, and machine learning. Specifically, I have been working on:

• Communication-efficient algorithms for distributed consensus optimization [AISTATS'25, OPT'23]
• Efficient protocols for multiplayer games [ICLR'26, Submitted]
• Complexity and algorithms for sequential decision-making problems [AAAI'25 (Oral), Submitted, Submitted, In prep.]

In the summer of 2026, I will be working at Microsoft Research Cambridge as a Research Intern in Machine Learning.
