Hi, my name is
About Me
My name is pronounced as [u˧˥.ɥœ˥˩] in IPA. As an approximation, the first syllable (surname) is how you would pronounce Wu in English, and the second syllable (given name) is similar to “suer” in French without the leading s, or “üä” in German.
I am a second-year PhD student at Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science at USC Viterbi.
I am currently working in the lab of Prof. Haipeng Luo in USC CS Theory Group. Current research topics including online learning in games, and algorithmic game theory in general.

High School
Hangzhou No.2 High School
I participated in various Olympiad in Informatics (OI) competitions during high school.
Noteworthy awards include gold medal in APIO 2018 (Asia-Pacific Informatics Olympiad) and gold medal in CTSC 2018 (NOI China Team Selection Competition, Elite Track).
Experience
I worked as an RA intern at Ant Group, Hangzhou, China. Working with a talented group with backgrounds in optimization, finance and operatics, I did research on how large recommendation platforms can effectively steer the market of content creators and consumers.
Projects
Typinox
A Python library that supports enhanced run-time typechecking for
jaxtyping annotated equinox Modules.
Lower bound of deterministic Zipfian top-k problem
A complexity analysis for a specific data stream algorithm problem.
Course project for Algorithm Design and Analysis (Honor Track) by Dr. Tong YANG.

Superliminal Auto-splitters
Superliminal: a 2019 puzzle-platformer by Pillow Castle.
Speedrunning: trying to beat a video game as fast as possible.
Auto-splitter: a small script of code that detects the start, stages and end of a video game, usually to time speedruns.
I’m the maintainer of the auto-splitters for Superliminal since 2021. The development requires reverse-engineering the game.
