Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Mathematics
Illinois Institute of Technology
I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Applied Mathematics at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where I am advised by Prof. Chun Liu and Prof. Ming Zhong (University of Houston). I received my B.Sc. in Computing Mathematics (First Class Honours) from City University of Hong Kong, with a minor in Computer Science.
My research focuses on inverse problems and scientific machine learning for complex dynamical systems, with an emphasis on exploiting mathematical and physical structure to develop stable and scientifically meaningful methods for data-driven learning and scientific computing.
