👋 Hi there! I’m a Lecturer in EECS at MIT.
Previously, I was a lecturer and postdoc at Princeton University and then MIT. I received my Ph.D. in EECS from MIT, working on optimization and robotics with Russ Tedrake. I received my S.M. also from MIT EECS, working on educational technology. And before that, I graduated valedictorian from the Harbin Institute of Technology, China, with a B.S. in AeroAstro and a B.A. in English Literature.
Besides teaching and engineering, I love comedy, skateboarding, and learning languages.

In fall23, I’m teaching 6.790 Machine Learning (formerly 6.867).
In spring24, I’ll be teaching 6.390 Intro to Machine Learning (formerly 6.036).
