ABOUT ME
I am a Ph.D Candidate in Statistics at University of Toronto, advised by Daniel M. Roy and Jeffrey S. Rosenthal. I also work closely with Zhou Zhou.
Before coming to Toronto, I received an M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from Queen's University
and B.Eng. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University.
I am affiliated with Vector Institute. I spent Spring 2017 at UC Berkeley, as a visiting student researcher at Simons Institute.
RESEARCH
My current research interests include statistical learning theory, computational statistics, Bayesian inference, high-dimensional statistics, and applied probability.
