I’m an assistant professor of Institute for Theoretical Computer Science at SUFE. Before joining SUFE, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in LSE, mentored/hosted by Prof. László Végh. I received my Ph.D. from NYU in 2020, advised by Prof. Richard Cole. I’m interested in Algorithmic Game Theory and Optimization. Before coming to NYU, I received my BS degree in Computer Science from ACM Honor Class at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
