About

With broad exposure to classical and modern statistical approaches, I specialize in developing solutions with machine learning (ML) under various frameworks like PyTorch, Keras, and Scikit-learn. In the past, I have worked on HVAC energy optimization, video analytics, text-to-SQL generation, predictive modeling, anomaly detection, physics-guided ML, and survival analysis, etc.

As a member of LIGO Scientific Collaboration, I have also contributed to academic research in black-hole physics under the Bayesian framework. Specifically, I have worked on identifying strongly lensed gravitational-wave signals, and parameter estimation of ancestors of black holes in Pair-instability Mass Gap. Other than that, recently, I was lucky enough to give a talk at the 10th anniversary of PyCon Hong Kong.
