I am a Master’s student in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (https://usc.edu/). Before coming to USC, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (https://www.sjtu.edu.cn/).
I have a wide range of interests in all tech-related fields. At SJTU, under the guidance of Prof. Chen Chen at SysdomLab, I contributed to several research projects focused on optimizing distributed machine learning systems, particularly in the field of https://federated.withgoogle.com/. During my internship at Alimama in Alibaba Taobao & TMall Group (https://www.alimama.com/index.htm), I worked on applying multi-modal embeddings in recommender systems and optimizing click-through rate (CTR) prediction models.
Looking ahead, I am excited to deepen my expertise in specific fields while exploring new challenges in tech. I am eager to tackle impactful problems and make meaningful contributions, no matter the direction.
