I am working towards a Ph.D. at Leibniz University Hannover. Previously I obtained my Master's degree in electrical engineering and information technology at TU Darmstadt and my bachelor's degree in electronics and information engineering at Huazhong University of Science in 2019 and 2015 respectively. 

My research interest is AutoML, including Hyperparameter Optimization and Neural Architecture Search. The goal is to provide easy-to-use AutoML systems that allow non-expert Machine learning users to work with machine learning problems at hand.

Research Interests

  • Hyperparameter Optimization
  • Neural Architecture
  • Time Series forecasting
