Research activities

Within Northeastern, I interact with colleagues in the Algorithms and Theory Group.

We also have a growing group in the area of statistical/theoretical machine learning. In particular, I coordinate a mailing list in the Boston campus. We are always looking for external speakers. If you are interested in presenting your work at Northeastern, please send me an email at ho.zhang@northeastern.edu. We are located at 177 Huntington Ave (Room 2206).
