Ms Queenie Huang
I completed a double degree of Bachelor of Advanced Maths with 1st-class Honours majoring in applied maths and Bachelor of Actuarial Studies at UNSW in 2022. My honours thesis topic was "Feature Selection under Data Uncertainty in Machine-Learning via Robust Difference-of-Convex Optimisation" under the supervision of Prof. Jeya Jeyakumar.
I'm a current PhD student at the School of Maths & Statistics under the supervision of Prof. Jeya Jeyakumar and Prof. Guoyin Li. My research interest is in distributionally robust optimisation.
