Jingcheng Liu

UC Berkeley

Jingcheng is in the final year of his PhD in the CS theory group at UC Berkeley, with an anticipated completion of summer 2019, under the supervision of Professor Alistair Sinclair. He is broadly interested in theoretical computer science. His current research focuses on the interplay between phase transitions in statistical physics, locations of zeros of graph polynomials, and algorithmic questions such as the tractable boundaries of approximate counting, sampling and inference. Before attending UC Berkeley, he completed his undergraduate studies in the ACM Honor Class of 2010, at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
