Xiaoyu Chen
I am a postdoc at MIT hosted by Prof. Kuikui Liu.
I earned my Ph.D. in the CS Theory Group at Nanjing University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yitong Yin.
I obtained my B.Eng. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in June 2020, where I was advised by Prof. Mingyu Xiao and Prof. Yi Zhou.
Research Interests
I'm interested in theoretical computer science. Currently, I focus on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, which are widely used for approximate sampling and counting.
