I received my Ph.D from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in Dec. 2007. I am currently a professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University of New South Wales. I was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (for mid-career researchers) during 2014-2018. My area of interest is optimisation, variational analysis and tensor computations.
