== Introduction
Hi, this is Siqi Zhang. Now I am an Assistant Professor in the IEOM Department, School of Management and Engineering (SME) of Nanjing University (NJU).
\n
\n
I got my Ph.D. degree from the ISE Department of UIUC in 2022, supervised by [https://odi.inf.ethz.ch/niaohe Prof.\ Niao He]. 
\n
Before joining NJU, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) of Johns Hopkins University (JHU), collaborating with [https://nicolasloizou.github.io/ Prof.\ Nicolas Loizou]

== Research Intersts
Broadly speaking, I am interested in *optimization* and its applications in *machine learning*. Recently, I am focusing on the following topics:
  - Stochastic optimization, nonconvex optimization, minimax optimization
  - Federated learning and its applications
  - Intersection of machine learning, operation research and optimization
