Research Interests

My research generally centers around distributed/federated learning. More specifically, I am interested in providing fundamental understandings of how distributed/federated learning algorithms are influenced by statistical variability and system variability due to privacy, communication and other constrains. Inspired by the theoretical insights, I am seeking to develop intelligent and efficient algorithms to better fit large-scale distributed/federated system.

• Optimization algorithms.
• Communication-Efficient Distributed/Federated Learning.
• Robust Machine Learning.
