Welcome to my homepage! I’m a 4th year CS PhD student at Rice University, advised by Prof. Ankit Patel .
My research focuses on building and improving machine learning and deep learning models for science problems in an explainable way. The fields of subjects involve quantum many-body physics, computational chemical sensing, medicine, etc. To be more specific, I build models that do not require too much domain knowledge but are able to learn and exploit various types of data in different fields of Science. By replacing deep neural networks with shallower ones, I aim to increase the interpretability of these mo
I received my Master’s degree from University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Data Science and worked with Prof. Shivani Agarwal on Learning the Tree Structure of a Nested Logit Choice Model from Data. I also worked for Prof. Barry Silverman on Addressing Disparities in Healthcare Access and Outcomes among Chronically Ill Older Adults: Assessing the Feasibility of an Agent-Based Modeling Approach ( visualization of the geographic data used in the project). I received my Bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua Univ
