Hi, I am Tong Qi

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland. I am honored to be advised by Professor Vince Lyzinski.

My research interests are in the areas of graph theory, statistical network analysis, and high-dimensional data analysis. My current work focuses on statistical inference on spectral graph embedding algorithms and their performance comparison.

Projects

1. Community Detection and Anomaly Detection of Multiple Graph Embedding Methods

2. Detection of Model-based Planted Pseudo-cliques in Random Dot Product Graphs by the Adjacency Spectral Embedding and the Graph Encoder Embedding
