Welcome to my homepage!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Rina Foygel Barber and Professor Cong Ma.

My research broadly focuses on theory and methodology in scenarios where the distribution is weakly specified or fully supervised data is unavailable.

Prior to PhD, I graduated from School of the Gifted Young at University of Science and Technology of China and was a student research intern advised by Professor Jun S Liu at Harvard.
