Ruiquan Huang
State College, PA 16801
Hi there, my name is Ruiquan Huang (pronounced Ray-chwen Hwang, you are also welcome to call me Ray). I am a Ph.D. candidate at The Pennsylvania State University, and am fortunate to be advised by Professor Jing Yang. Prior to that, I received my B.S. from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and M.S. degrees from Columbia University.
My research interests lie broadly in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a particular focus on deep learning, reinforcement learning, and the trustworthiness of ML/AI systems.
I’m looking for highly motivated PhD students to join our research group. Prospective students with a strong mathematical background and/or extensive programming experience are encouraged to apply. If interested, please contact me by email with a resume, preferably including grades for math/cs/physics courses.
