Brief Biography

I graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University with a Bachelor's degree in Automation in 1997, and got my Master's degree in ECE from National University of Singapore in 2005. I was fortunate enough to obtain my Ph. D. degree in ECE from McGill University under the supervision of Shie Mannor, in 2009. I then spent two wonderful years in the WNCG group of UT-Austin, as a postdoctral research fellow working with Constantine Caramanis. I have been with the Department of Mechanical Engineering of NUS since 2011. Prior to starting my Ph.D sutdy, I have worked in Panasonic, HP and Oracle for almost six years.

My current research interest focus on learning and decision-making in large-scale complex systems. Specifically, I am interested in machine learning, high-dimensional statistics, robust and adaptable optimization, robust sequential decision making, and applications to large-scale systems.

P.S. Xu is my family name, which is pronounced as [ʃuː].
