About Group Research Teaching


I am a Lecturer in Statistics and Data Science in the School of Mathematics and Physics in University of Queensland. I previously held postdoc positions at QUT and UC Berkeley from 2015 to 2018, and at NUS from 2013 to 2014. Before that, I earned my PhD in Computer Science from NUS, and completed double first-class honors in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, also from NUS.

I am broadly interested in machine learning algorithms, theory, and applications. I have published papers on topics including sequential decision making under uncertainty, weakly supervised learning, probabilistic graphical models, statistical learning theory, in venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, UAI, JAIR, JMLR. I have received an IJCAI-JAIR Best Paper Prize in 2022, and a UAI Best Student Paper Award in 2014.

I am seeking highly motivated students to work with me on machine learning research. If you are interested, please email me your CV/transcripts, a sample of your writing, and a brief description of your research interests.
