I am an applied mathematician, and a researcher at Vicarious AI. I obtained my Ph.D. in applied math at Brown University, advised by Prof. Stuart Geman, and my bachelor degrees from Peking University.
My current research interests are in building compositional probabilistic generative models, and the associated inference and learning problems.
