About me

I am currently a Lecturer in the School of Computing at the Macquarie University. Before that, I worked as a lecturer in the School of Information and Physical Sciences at the University of Newcastle, as a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New South Wales, and at Data61, CSIRO.

My Ph.D degree is obtained at the University of Technology, Sydney on May, 2015. Prior to coming to Australia, I received my Bachelor degree in Mathematical Statistics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2010.

Research themes

Generative AI is my current research focus.

Also, I have extensive research experience in:

• Gaussian Processes

• Deep Generative Models

• Variational Inference methods

• Stochastic Point Processes

• Bayesian Nonparametric Space Partitions

• Markov chain Monte Carlo methods
