I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering Department at Yale University. I am a member of Intelligent Computing Lab, advised by Prof. Priyadarshini Panda . My research aims to build more bio-inspired machine intelligence where the system can achieve both energy efficiency and robust performance. I develop learning algorithms that facilitate binary communication (like the human brain) in AI systems while having hardware-friendly features. Also, I look into various practical machine learning tasks, such as continual learning, distributed learning and domain adaptation, enabling learning systems to tackle real-world scenarios.
