Friends

Liwei Luo @ UCI is a CS student who loves daydreaming :). I have to mention that I really enjoy discussing Feminism with her!

Ruomin Huang @ USTC is an elegant researcher, and I am pretty sure he would agree with this statement :) Good luck to him on 2023 Fall applications.

Beining Wu @ USTC is a hard-working researcher. Good luck to him on 2023 Fall applications.

Zhanghan Wang @ NYU is a system PhD with Girlfriend and Happiness. So good :(

Zihan Zheng works on security and he knows many things. Not just because he is older than me :)

Wei Fan @ Upenn is a Statistics PhD who hopes people can push his friends (e.g. me).

Bowen Li @ CMU is a Robotics PhD with many papers, too many compared with System PhD :(

Yiwei Yuan @ USTC is a totoro (joking) and he believes he is a research Trash (definitely not!)

Zhengyang Geng @ CMU is a warm person to be friends with (especially when he prevents me from becoming last place in Dominion games by becoming the last one himself), and I have to mention that he has a wife (! happy family)

Alec Sun @ CMU plays ‘frisbee’ so well and believes himself a better frisbee teacher than me! And he keeps correcting my English speaking and writing (including this page), so sweet :) Hope his Mandarin will improve with me around.

Keyu Tao @ USTC is a great CS person and enjoys anime as well. Although he doesn’t like self-introduction, I do this for him :) I am such an angel!!

Mingkuan Xu @ CMU is so good at board games that we all dream to win him once :( BTW, I really enjoy discussing finance questions with him.

Yihang Yao @ CMU is such a great Mechanical Engineering student w/o publication (just kidding) like me :(

Kaiyang Zhao @ CMU is a systems PhD (!) who prefers to stay alone in some time (most time maybe), so we sometimes just run away from a social event together :)

Wenzhuo Xu @ CMU is able to gain high scores in Toefl (118/30 in speaking) and other exams but don’t know how to ‘gain’ his first publication till now (just joking, he is great like Yihang).

Shu (Lynn) Liu @ UC Berkeley is a hobbyist photographer and a Systems PhD who has so many things in common with me :) (e.g. research interest and background). Hope we both have a bright future.

Chi Zhang @ CMU is a sweet girl with wide interests. For instance, I enjoy playing 飞花令 (a game that needs a solid knowledge of Chinese poems) with her.

Yewen Fan @ CMU is a card-game PhD (joking), enthusiastic about contract bridge, 双升 and other card games, and research (of course!).

Yue Wu @ CMU is not only a researcher successful in RL but also a quality man in various aspects of life (e.g. food, household supplies, playing frisbee).

Xinshuai Dong @ CMU is a master at fishing (someone that lets you talk and talk until you have completely exposed yourself) and has a double PhD degree in card games and frisbee (joking!).
