About Me

Hi 👋! I'm Pingbang Hu 胡平邦 (Hu, Pingˊ-Bongˉ) from Taiwan 🇹🇼, an incoming Ph.D.student in Information Science at University of Illinois Urbana - Champaign (UIUC) 🇺🇸 advised by Prof. Jiaqi Ma. My research interest is about machine learning theory and theoretical computer science, specialized on graphs.

I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science (minor in Mathematics) at University of Michigan (UMich) 🇺🇸 and B.E. degree in Electrical Computer Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) 🇨🇳 (dual-degree program).

My (academic) interest spreads widely among TCS and math. To name a few: I enjoy algorithm design, computational complexity 🧠, high dimensional statistic 📊, analysis, geometry/topology and optimization theory 📚. Occasionally, I'll do street photography 📷 and write blog posts 📝.

Now, I'm: designing fast graph algorithms, exploring graph neural network theory, studying graphings.
