About me
I am a Ph.D. student working on Deep Learning at University of Illinois at Urbana-Chamapign. I am advised by Prof. Ruoyu Sun and co-advised by Prof. Naira Hovakimyan. During the first year of my Ph.D., I worked with Prof. Justin Sirignano on deep learning for computational fluid mechanics (CFD). During my master’s degree, I worked with Prof. Kyle Smith on computational methods for energy storage systems.
Research interest: Efficient Deep Learning; Natural Language Processing; Computer Vision; Generative Models; Graph Neural Networks (GNN); Numerical Methods.
