About Me

Howdy! My name is Wangyang He(何汪洋), I am a master student in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. My advisor is Prof. Xia “Ben” Hu. My master thesis topic is Automated Deep Learning for Time Series Outlier Detection. I worked as a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe in 2022, mentored by Tong Sun and Jiuxiang Gu. I also received my bachelor’s degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University in 2020.
