Hi, this is Rong-Xi Tan. Currently I am a fourth-year undergraduate student of School of Artificial Intelligence in Nanjing University advised by Associate Prof. Chao Qian and a member of LAMDA Group, led by professor Zhi-Hua Zhou.

My research interest lies in black-box optimization (BBO) algorithms, especially in BBO in offline settings (where online evaluation is restricted), and their applications in AI4Science, such as geoscience and soil property analysis.

🥳 Miscellaneous

  • My Chinese name is 谭荣熙 (Tan Rongxi), which can be pronounced as /tɑːm wɪŋ ‘heɪ/ in Cantonese.
  • I sincerely enjoy in Cantopop, and I am a fan of Joey. It would be absolutely cool if you are also interested in 心之科學.
  • I also enjoy working out, like going to the gym💪, jogging🏃, and playing badminton🏸 (though I could not play it for a long time due to injury😭).
