Scientific research has been one of the favourite activities of @snoidetx. When he was very young, he tried to research and write papers about the optimal angle when shooting basketballs. Afterwards, @snoidetx has been actively seeking for research opportunities. He took H3 Science Research in National Junior College (NJC), where he got a chance to research in Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) for 1 year. In National University of Singapore (NUS), @snoidetx proactively chose modules with research aspect to enrich his research experience. He enrolled in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Programme (UROP^?) under the supervision of Prof. Bryan Low Kian Hsiang^? and the paper has been accepted into the AAAI-24^? conference.

Currently, @snoidetx is preparing for his Integrated Honours Project (IHT) thesis.

Research Interests

• Data-centric machine learning (e.g., data valuation, active learning, machine unlearning)
• Multi-agent machine learning (e.g., collaborative/federated learning, incentive mechanism)
• Privacy-preserving machine learning (e.g., differentially private machine learning)
