I am an Assistant Professor in Department of Statistics & Data Science and Department of Computer Science (Division of Computational and Mathematical Sciences) at MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence). Prior to that, I was a faculty member at the University of Rochester and received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I am lucky to be advised by Dr. Hanghang Tong.

Student recruitment: I am looking for highly motivated students to work with me as a MSc student, PhD student, visiting student, or research intern. If you are interested to work with me at MBZUAI, please send me an email with your CV and a brief introduction of yourself, e.g., your background, past experiences, research interests, and research proposal (optionally). Please use the title [$TERM$ $YEAR$] $YOURNAME$: $PURPOSE$ for your email (e.g., [Fall 2027] Jane Doe: PhD Application, [Fall 2027] John Doe: Intern Application). Please note that, due to the large amount of emails, I may not be able to reply to them all.
