Research

My research interests mainly focus on large scale optimization in machine learning which includes:

  • Black-box optimization

  • Federated learning

  • Stochastic optimization

  • Spiking Neural Networks

  • Reinforcement learning

I am recruiting Postdoc, PhD, Master and Intern students in MBZUAI, with the high motivation of doing research on large scale optimization in machine learning. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me.
