About me

I received a B.S. in mathematics from Hunan University in 2013. I got my PhD degree in 2018, under the supervision of Professor Yu-Hong Dai in Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I was a postdoctoral fellow at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the mentorship of Professor Xiaojun Chen during October 2018 to October 2019. From January 2020 to September 2022, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Ting Kei Pong at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I am currently an assistant professor at College of Science, Zhejiang University of Technology.

Research Interest

Nonlinear optimization and its applications: first-order methods for large-scale (convex or nonconvex) problems.
