About

I entered the Department of Biostatistics as a PhD student in 2018. My research mainly involves statistical learning methods and computational techniques for data with complex structure, and I am currently working with Dr. Ali Shojaie on approximate inference for spatial point processes, along with related theoretical guarantees.

I obtained my MS degree in Biostatistics at Yale University, where I worked with Dr. Forrest Crawford on the large-sample behavior of population size estimators, especially those for hard-to-reach populations. Before that, I received my BS in Mathematics at Tongji University in Shanghai, China.
