Research Engineer

Bloomberg, New York, NY

I am a Research Engineer/Senior Software Engineer in Bloomberg focused on developing pricing algorithms for fix-income market. Before Bloomberg, I gained a master degree as PhD dropout from distributed systems research team in Computer Science Department, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. During the time at NYU, I interned at Bytedance Applied Machine Learning and AWS AI. Prior to NYU, I had my B.E and M.S in Beihang University.

Before coming to NYU, my research interest was in machine vision applying conventional geometry and computer vision using machine learning methods. My master thesis is on the topic of Indoor Navigation Oriented Visual SLAM Technology. I spent a great half year on internship in Face++.

Please find my CV.
