About Me: I am currently an Assistant Professor in the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). I am also a team member of Generative AI Lab (GRAIL) at NTU. Previously, I served as a Research Fellow at NTU and a Senior Researcher at JD Explore Academy, and also a member of DMT (Doctor Management Trainee) program in JD.com, Inc. I received my Ph.D. degree in the School of computer science, The University of Sydney, supervised by Prof. Dacheng Tao (IEEE Fellow) and co-supervised by Prof. Min-hsiu Hsieh and Prof. Tongliang Liu. Prior to my doctoral studies, I studied Physics (national base-level physics class) at Sichuan University. Additionally, I undertook a visiting student program at SUNY Albany in 2013.
My work has been published in top‑tier journals and conferences across physics and computer science, including Nat. Rev. Phys., Nat. Commun., PRL, PRX Quantum, npj Quantum Inf., IEEE TIT, IEEE TPAMI, NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR, and has been featured by major media outlets such as MIT Technology Review and Phys.org. I serve as an Associate Editor of ACM TQC and Quantum Mach. Intell., and as an Action Editor of Neural Networks. I regularly serve as an Area Chair for ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR, and was recognized as a Top Area Chair of NeurIPS 2026. My recognitions include the AAAI 2027 New Faculty Highlights, the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at ASE 2026, and being named among the Top 2% Scientists Worldwide in AI and Physics, based on citation indicators published by Stanford University and Elsevier.
Research Interest: My research interests include quantum machine learning applications, quantum learning theory, and AI for quantum science.
Hiring: Multiple positions for Ph.D. (full scholarship and partial scholarship), Research Assistant, and Visiting Scholars at Nanyang Technological University are currently available. We seek students with a strong background in statistics, physics, and computer science to collaborate on research in quantum learning theory and quantum AI. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me via email with detailed resumes. Refer to official website for more details.
