Chu Xin (Cloris) Cheng

Thanks for stopping by! I am Chu Xin (Cloris) Cheng, a senior at California Institute of Technology majoring in CS. I am fortunate to have worked with Prof. Yisong Yue and Prof. Adam Wierman from Caltech, Prof. Ellen Zhong from Princeton, and Prof. Yanan Sui from Tsinghua University.

My past research centers around dealing with uncertainties in optimization and decision-making processes. From designing efficient sampling algorithms for high dimensional problems using Bayesian optimization and MCMC to leveraging human feedback using bandit algorithms for exoskeleton gaits, I am intrigued by problems that interleave theoretical challenges and practical application. Recently, I am also exploring applications of Bayesian optimization in experimental design problems, and I am excited to see how general machine learning tools can be used to accelerate scientific discovery.

At Caltech, I am surrounded by so many brilliant minds, and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and collaborate with Raul M. Astudillo, Chris Yeh, Yiheng Lin and many more amazing people on various projects.
