I am an associate professor at the Computer Science Department at the University of Iowa. My research interests center around optimization, big data, machine learning and AI. I was a researcher at NEC Laboratories America, Inc. Before that, I was a Machine Learning Researcher at
GE Global Research. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Michigan State University in 2012, and received my Bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2007.
