“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” -- Marcus Aurelius

This is kkkkahlua, a 1st year CS PhD student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Bo Li. Before that, I graduated with a B.S. degree in Computer Science from Nanjing University with distinction.

My current research interests lie in machine learning, privacy preservation, data valuation, and reinforcement learning.

I am a cofounder of NJU-CSE-Flyers Global Alumni Network.
