Bio

Hi, I’m a undergrad senior in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, advised by Prof. Ju Sun and Prof. Shashi Shekhar. My research interests include federated learning, medical imaging analysis, deep learning, optimization, and causal AI. I have been the recipient of Google CS research mentorship, UMN undergrad research scholarship and the CS&E departmental scholarship. I serve as a Math and CS reviwer for the Minnesota Undergraduate Research & Academic Journal, and as a volunteer in ICLR 2021 and ICML 2021. You can also find an article about me on https://cse.umn.edu/cs/news/cspotlight-experiencing-research-undergrad.
