I am a second-year direct PhD student in Computer Science at ETH Zürich. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Niao He and to be a member of the Optimization and Decision Intelligence Group, which is part of the Institute for Machine Learning. Previously, I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University, where I was advised by Prof. Yen-Huan Li.
Research
I work in optimization and machine learning theory. I have served as a reviewer for NeurIPS 2024/2025, ICML 2025, and ICLR 2025. I am currently interested in the following topics and would be happy to chat!
- Online portfolio selection and probability forecasting; see, e.g., my blog post and its application to constructing confidence intervals.
- Stepsize schedules of optimization algorithms; see, e.g., the silver stepsize schedule.
- Bandit convex optimization; see, e.g., this book.
