Biography
Jiawei Zhang is currently the postdoctoral scholar in the Laboratory for Information & Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT, working with Asuman Ozdaglar. He obtained the Ph.D. degree in Computer and Information Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), studied in CUHK-Shenzhen with advisory of Zhi-Quan (Tom) Luo. Previously, he obtained the B.Sc. in Mathematics (Hua Loo-Keng talent program) University of Science and Technology of China.
His research interests include optimization theory, designing efficient optimization algorithms and their applications to machine learning and data science. Recently, I am very interested in understanding machine learning especially deep learning from an optimization perspective.
I organized two sessions in INFORMS Annual meeting 2022 on nonconvex nonsmooth optimization and nonconvex constrained optimization.
