About Me

Currently I am a Ph.D. student of School of Artificial Intelligence in Nanjing University and a member of LAMDA Group, under the supervision of Prof. Yuan Jiang and Prof. Zhi-Hua Zhou. I received my B.Sc. degree in computer science in 2019 from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where I entered the Gong-Yan Class (2015), an honors program for gifted students. In 2022, I received my M.Sc. degree in computer science from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Songcan Chen. In the same year, I was admitted to pursue Ph.D. degree in Nanjing University.

Research Interests

My research interests include topics in machine learning and data mining. More recently, I am interested in the following topics:

• Avoiding undesired future: learning from prediction to decision
• Abductive learning: bridging machine learning and logical reasoning
