I received my Ph.D. from Arizona State University. I was co-advised by Prof. Visar Berisha and Prof. Gautam Dasarathy. I received my bachelor's degree at Shandong University and my master's degree at Texas A&M University. In the past, I have been fortunate to collaborate with Prof. Xiaoning Qian, and Prof. Jim Ji. My recent research interests include active learning, sequential learning and their clinical applications. Generally, I am obsessed with developing machine learning algorithms with statistical approaches.
