I am currently a fourth year PhD student in the department of computer science at UBC, working in the scientific computing lab under supervision of Dr. Michael Friedlander. I obtained my MSc degree at the faculty of electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science at Delft university of Technology. Before starting my PhD programme I worked at the supercomputing center of the computer network information center, Chinese academy of sciences, and at a private company called S&T.

I defended my Ph.D. thesis in December 2009. The online appendix for the thesis can be found here

Numerical optimization, convex analysis, sparse recovery, geometry, approximation theory, matrix design, error-correction codes.
