      I was fortunate to work in the Strategic Reasoning Group supervised by Professor Michael Wellman, together with a group of most talented minds in the intersection of Economics and Computer Science. I worked on Strategy Exploration Problem of Empirical Game Theoretic Analysis. The main goal was to find Nash Equilibrium in large extensive form game where players' strategy is parenthesized by neural network.

      I worked in UCLA Machine Learing and Genomics Lab, supervised by Professor Sriram Sankararaman. Under the broad area of Transcriptome Wide Association Study (TWAS), my work focuses on mathematically extracting cell type specific gene expressions from the tissue-level data, and then performing TWAS on the extracted gene expressions features. Specifically, my work included: • Deconvolute tissue-level gene expression into cell-type specific ones with Tensor Component Analysis •… Show more I worked in UCLA Machine Learing and Genomics Lab, supervised by Professor Sriram Sankararaman.

Specifically, my work included: • Deconvolute tissue-level gene expression into cell-type specific ones with Tensor Component Analysis • Perform TWAS on the cell-type specific gene expression and UKBiobank data • Optimize TWAS parameter estimation procedure to enforce sparsity on SNPs effect sizes • Develop data simulation scheme for gene heritability and correlation I especially enjoyed the vibrant research environment in Sriram Lab. The frequent cross-lab communications, cross-school communication all added to the creation of ideas.

      In the autonomous driving group, I focused in decision making model of the vehicle using Reinforcement Learning techniques. Given the waypoints along the road ahead, I help implemented two models: • End-to-end model. Trained Trust Region Policy Optimization and Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning driving control unit in Carla simulator with way-points as inputs and throttle-break and steer as output. Vehicle is capable of navigating in chartered town maps • Model-based RL… Show more In the autonomous driving group, I focused in decision making model of the vehicle using Reinforcement Learning techniques.

      As a first year undergraduate, I was thrilled to witness the meticulousness that associates held towards documents in the PwC HK Tax Department, especially during the peak season for tax reporting. My duties involved: • Drafted Profits Tax Return, Tax Calculation, client letter for over ten clients; drafted IRD (Inland Revenue Office) letters and answered queries from IRD • Translated client’s Master File for Transfer Pricing compliance for an ICO • Automated scanning process… Show more As a first year undergraduate, I was thrilled to witness the meticulousness that associates held towards documents in the PwC HK Tax Department, especially during the peak season for tax reporting.
