About me

I am a second-year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Slobodan Mitrović.

I received my Master's degree at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan, where I had the honor to be advised by Professor Biing-Feng Wang.

My CV can be found here.

Research interest: I am interested in combinatorial optimization and algorithmic graph theory. Recently, my research has been focused on the design of efficient distributed algorithms and streaming algorithms.
