Changxiao Cai

I am an assistant professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering and an affiliate faculty member of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Michigan.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Pennsylvania, advised by T. Tony Cai and Hongzhe Li. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Princeton University in 2021, advised by Yuxin Chen and H. Vincent Poor. I have also worked with Sergio Verdú at Princeton. Prior to this, I received my B.E. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2016.

I am broadly interested in mathematical data science, with a recent focus on diffusion model, reinforcement learning, high-dimensional statistics, and nonconvex optimization.
