About me


Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in computer science at The Ohio State University under the guidance of  Prof. Zeyu Guo. Prior to this, I obtained my bachelor degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at  Sichuan University. Also, I have a one-year background in graduate studies from the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My current research interests are primarily in coding theory, coding for (distributed) storage systems, quantum error correction, pseudorandomness, efficient (list) decoding algorithms, combinatorics, and applications of coding theory into cryptography. However, I am also developing my interests to interdisciplinary areas between machine/deep learning, combinatorics, information theory, coding theory and so on. You can find some of my recent work on my arXiv page :)

In Spring 2024, I was a long-term visitor of Simons program Error-Correcting Codes: Theory and Practice  at UC Berkeley.
