---------- 以下为教授本人招生信息 ----------

如果对statistical signal processing, robust optimization, spatio-temporal model, machine learning等感兴趣的同学也欢迎考虑本人的research group, 导师本人以及研究方向简介如下:

【导师介绍】Liyan Xie will join the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen as an assistant professor in Fall 2021. Liyan Xie graduated from H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, major in Statistics. Her research interests are the intersection between statistics and optimization, with a primary focus on sequential change detection, spatio-temporal point processes, and their applications in sensor networks and healthcare. She was awarded the finalist of INFORMS QSR student paper competition and Runner-up for the INFORMS Computing Society Student Paper Prize in 2019. She is also the recipient of the 2020 ARC student fellowship and IDEaS-TRIAD Research Scholarships at Georgia Tech. She was selected to participate in the Rising Stars Workshop held by UC Berkeley in 2020, which is an academic workshop for outstanding female Ph.D. or postdoc in EECS area; and the participants are selected based on academic excellence. Before coming to Georgia Tech, Liyan received a B.Sc. degree in Statistics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2016.

【研究方向】The research direction will broadly cover statistics, optimization, and machine learning. On the theoretical side, we are interested in developing fundamental statistical methods with strong theoretical guarantees for (change-point) detection, testing, and estimation type problems; meanwhile, the efficiency and robustness are two key challenges and the focus of our research. For applications, we are broadly interested in healthcare problems (such as the early detection of anomaly patterns via wearable sensors), seismic signal processing, power networks, spatio-temporal modeling, robust vehicle routing problems in practice; with potential collaborations and projects with tech companies, hospitals, faculty members from other universities, and the Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society (AIRS) (airs.cuhk.edu.cn/en).
A potential list of journals/conferences that we target include but not restricted to: IEEE transactions on signal processing, IEEE transactions on information theory, and their special issues; operations research, journal of machine learning research, annals of statistics, annals of applied statistics, and top machine learning conferences: ICML, Neurips, ICLR, AISTATS, etc.

【其他信息】I am looking for motivated Ph.D. students with strong mathematical/statistics background and coding abilities (matlab or python or R, etc). As a Ph.D. in my group, you will have the flexibility to choose the research directions that you are interested in within the broad areas described above, and you are welcome to find another co-advisor to enhance high-quality interdisciplinary research. Also, you can do internships or visit other universities (I can help find these opportunities from collaborators, etc) during the summer, if you choose to stay on campus, Research Assistant (RA) positions are also available during the summer.

【联系方式】Please see sites.gatech.edu/lxie/ for my current webpage. Please send your CV to my email lxie49@gatech.edu if you are interested (not restricted to Ph.D. positions starting Fall 2021. If you are interested in applying for a later time, I will be recruiting Ph.D. students in the next 1-2 years as well.) Thank you!

老师好，博士需要提供GRE成绩吗？申请最少需要多少段科研经历呢？本科生可以申请吗？
另，有网络安全科研方向吗？项目读几年以及头一年有课程学分学习要求吗，还是直接就和老师做科研了？
