About me
Name: Xinwei Zhang
Title: Postdoctoral Researcher
Affiliation: University of Southern California
Bio: Dr. Xinwei Zhang is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2023. His research interest lies in the theoretical aspect of distributed optimization and differential privacy for machine learning. His recent work focuses on:
1. Designing differentially private optimization algorithms with theoretical guarantees.
2. Understanding distributed optimization algorithms, designing system-specific algorithms, and making connections to signal processing and control theory.
3. Understanding federated learning from different perspectives and resolving existing problems in federated learning, including data heterogeneity, communication efficiency, and differential privacy.
