Bio
I am a Ph.D. student of Computing Science at Univeristy of Alberta (UofA) where I am cosupervised by Csaba Szepesvári and Xiaoqi Tan.
My current research interest lies in theoretical perspective of Artificial Intelligence and Sequential Decision Making, especially Reinforcement Learning and Bandit algorithms.
Before that, I obtained my M.Sc. in Computing Science at University of Alberta under the supervision of Csaba Szepesvári and I obtained Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Harbin Institute of Technology under the supervision of Xianming Liu.
