  • Ph.D. in Statistics from Stanford University in 2024; B.S. in Mathematics from Tsinghua University in 2019.
Background
  • Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University. Research focuses on statistical and computational methods, with a focus on the adaptive nature of modeling and analysis in modern data science. Particularly interested in sampling algorithms with applications to Bayesian inference, selective inference, and generative modeling.
Miscellany
  • Co-organizes an online seminar on Monte Carlo methods.
