Chang He

Hi, welcome to my homepage! I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, fortunately advised by Professor Bo Jiang. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor's degree from the School of Mathematical Sciences at East China Normal University in 2021.

My research interests are continuous optimization problems arising in operations research, online learning and other applications. Recently, I have been working on second-order and higher-order methods, and Riemannian optimization.

Currently, I am a visiting student at at University of Minnesota, working with Professor Shuzhong Zhang.
