Research Interests: Foundations of machine learning, computer vision, numerical optimization, and their application to science, engineering, and medicine.

Openings: We plan to recruit two or three PhD students for 2025 Fall. Ideal candidates should have strong mathematics and programming background, preferably with prior research experience in at least one of the fields: machine learning, computer vision, numerical optimization, and their applications. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of our work (check out my publications and my recent talks, we welcome applicants from outside CS fields also, such as electrical engineering, mathematics, statistics, data science, operation research, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and so on (see the background of our current and past members here). Prospective students please directly apply through our PhD application system and mention Prof. Sun among the potential advisors.
