ABOUT ME
I am a Principal Researcher at Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab as of September 2020.
Before that I received my PhD degree from Beijing Institute of Technology with early graduation honor in 2020. From 2017 to 2020,
I was a joint training PhD student at Columbia University, New York, USA. Before getting my PhD, I already was a senior technical consultant at Santé Ventures, USA, from December 2019 to August 2020,
leading a team to develop a reinforcement learning system for financial stock investment from scratch.
My current research interests include machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning.
I won the Excellent Paper Award at the 2019 IEEE International Conference on Signal, Information and Data Processing.
