About Me
I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Bellinzona) hosted by Dr. Andrea Cavalli.
I completed my Ph.D. within STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing, and Data Analytics of KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, under the supervision of Prof. ir. Johan A.K. Suykens.
Before KU Leuven, I was advised by Prof. Chunrong Ai during my study as a PhD candidate in Statistics in Renmin University of China, Beijing, China.
I received my BS in Statistics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
My research area is in Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Specific topics include kernel methods in Transformers, learning with noisy labels, self-supervised learning, uncertainty estimation, sparse variational Gaussian processes.
