About Me
I am a second-year PhD student in EECS at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Qing Qu. Before this, I received my bachelor’s degree from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University. I have also collaborated with Prof. Li Yi and Prof. Wenkai Lu.
Research
My research focuses on understanding and advancing deep neural networks through low-dimensional modeling and first-principles perspectives. Recently, I have been interested in diffusion models, particularly their (representation) learning and generalization abilities.
