I am a first year PhD student in the Algorithms & Complexity Group of University of Waterloo starting in Winter 2023. I am fortunate to be advised by Richard Peng. Prior to this, I received my Master at Georgia Institute of Technology and B.Eng (Honors) at Zhejiang University under supervision of Can Wang.
I have a broad interest in theoretical computer science, with special interests in developing efficient algorithms to solve problems on graphs with certain structured, balancing between theoretical analysis and practical applications.
I am highly involved with Competitive Programming. Staring from season 2022 - 2023, I work as the coach of GT programming team. Prior to this, I competed representing Zhejiang University and Georgia Tech in 2017 - 2021, participating in ICPC World Finals 2018 (Beijing), 2022 (Egypt). I also worked as the problem setter, the judge for over 10 contests including ICPC Nanjing Regional 2020, 2021 and the coach of training camps including ByteDance Winter Trainning Camp. I am also the founder and committee member of Universal Cup, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing trainings for competitive programming teams. All related experience are listed in Competitive Programming.
