I am an Associate Professor at CSE department of Texas A&M University, where I direct the lab of Optimization for Machine learning and AI (OptMAI Lab). My research interests center around optimization, big data, machine learning and responsible AI. Before joining TAMU, I was an assistant professor and then associate professor at the Computer Science Department at the University of Iowa from 2014 to 2022. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Michigan State University in 2012, and received my Bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2007. I received the Best Student Paper Award of COLT in 2012, and the NSF Career Award in 2019. I am the founder of the LibAUC library. I am also the first to propose "local updates" and "model averaging" for distributed optimization in my NIPS paper in 2013, which have become the foundation of a new learning paradigm known as Federated Learning.
