AMath @ UW

I'm a Master's student there, currently navigating visa limbo courtesy of the Trump administration. An undignified first sentence for a webpage, but it is the true one.

Most of the time I think about numerical methods and dynamical systems, and about the theoretical limits of machine learning. Lately that has meant the lazy and rich regimes of neural networks, and a quantity I have been calling network richness.

I write, unevenly, in English and in Chinese. The pile includes notes on AI, and the odd personal fragment that does not belong anywhere else.

I grew up in Guangdong, in a family that is more Chongqing than the map would suggest. This has consequences for hot pot. Away from a desk I take photographs, and I like walking through mountains and cities until they start to make a kind of sense.

If you want the slightly more official version, there is a CV. If you would rather argue about AI, look at some market indicators I keep an eye on, wander through a few interesting websites, or just write, you can reach me.

Right now

I’m analyzing network richness, reading Karkada on the lazy and rich regimes, and trying to stay awake during 3 a.m. Zoom calls.
