Hello there. I am Ziyi!

I am a third year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering, advised by Prof. Guannan Qu and Prof. Yorie Nakahira. I obtain my M.S. degree at Duke University in Computer Science in 2022. I obtained my B.S. degree in Honors math and computer science at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2021.

My current research interest are in stochastic control and reinformcent learning. I am broadly interested in graph theory, algebraic topology and their applications in machine learning.
