About me

I am a Director in the Decision Sciences (Personalization Technologies) team at Epsilon. I build machine learning models at scale that deliver personalized marketing solutions for the client companies.

I completed my Ph.D. degree in Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago in 2017. I worked with Professor Noboru Nakamura on developing an atmospheric Rossby wave diagnostic theory, namely, the finite-amplitude local wave activity theory, that quantifies the severity of extreme weather events. This new diagnostic theory has led to the revolutionary discovery about the onset of atmospheric blocking [see Nakamura and Huang (Science, 2018)].

I am actively maintaining the open-source analysis package on GitHub to make this diagnostic technique widely accessible to researchers.

Here are my Google scholar page and academic CV.

Prior to attending graduate school, I spent my first 21 years of life in Hong Kong. I did my B. Sc. degree in Physics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong with double-minor in Mathematics and German Languages.

In my spare time, I like writing and making music. I occasionally share my vocal performances and improvised piano covers on my YouTube channel.
