Research Interests
My research interests are in the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of mathematical optimization, data science, and machine learning.
More specifically, my current research focuses on six directions:
Provably efficient and robust non-convex algorithm for large-scale data analysis problems.
Fast and robust signal/image processing with incomplete and/or corrupted data.
Query- and computation-efficient methods for structure-aware zeroth-order optimization problems.
Efficient black-box adversarial attacks on neural-network-based classifiers.
Deep-learning augmented optimization for inverse problems.
Theoretical and computational foundations for modeling high-performance deep networks.
