Biography

I am a third-year PhD student in Mathematics at UBC’s Okanagan Campus, supervised by Dr. Warren Hare and Dr. Amy Wiebe. Previously, I finished my MSc in Mathematics at UBC and BSc in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (Hua Luogeng Mathematics Class) at Beihang University.

My research interests center on the theoretical foundations of derivative-free optimization, with a particular emphasis on model accuracy, complexity analysis, and randomized subspace methods for high-dimensional problems. I am also interested in discrete geometry and polytope theory.
