I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Data Science Institute, Columbia University, mentored by Shipra Agrawal. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Washington University in St. Louis, where I was fortunate to be advised by Chien-Ju Ho. I received my bachelor degree from Tianjin University, China.
The goal of my research is to develop theoretically rigorous and empirically grounded algorithms for decision-making schemes in dynamic, uncertain, and human-centric economic systems (e.g., online marketplaces). Towards this goal, I pursue three complementary research themes using ideas from machine learning (e.g., online learning), algorithmic economics, and behavioral (social) sciences:
