About me

Hi, I'm Qihan Wang, 王启涵 in Chinese (pronounced Chee-Han), but people usually call me by Chuck. I'm a Senior Computer Science and Mathematics double mojor at Rice University with great interest in optimization and machine learning.

My research interests include: Accelerated methods in non-convex optimization, stochastic first order methods, sparsity constraints and pruning for neural networks, double descent in neural network training.

Previously, I worked at Microsoft working on Sabia, a royalty knowledge service fabric using NLP and knowledge graph. Also I've worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center as a research assistant on Using SVM to classify cancer of unknown primary (CUP problem) and Constructing evolutionary tree with copy number from DNA/RNA long read data.
