Bio
I'm a Postdoctoral Scholar at University of California, Berkeley, advised by Aditya Parameswaran. Before that, I was a PhD student at USC's Infolab, advised by Prof. Cyrus Shahabi, from Aug/2019 to Feb/2024. Previously, I was advisded by Prof. Raymond Wong at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology during my master's degree from Sep/2017 to Aug/2019. I was a visiting scholar at Stanford's Hazy Research lab working with Prof. Chris Ré from May/2022 to Sep/2022 and at Harvard's DASlab working with Prof. Stratos Idreos from May/2019 to Aug/2019.
I'm broadly interested in end-to-end data analysis and machine learning systems. I'm interested in efficiecy of data management, privacy of data access, correcting biases in data observations and accurate and efficient data-driven machine learning.
