About

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto, advised by Dehan Kong, Stanislav Volgushev and Linbo Wang. My research mainly focuses on the development of statistical methods to address statistical and computational challenges of complex data, and the intersection of high dimensional statistics and causal inference. Find out more details.

Before coming to U of T, I obtained my Master's degree in Statistics at University of California, Berkeley and I spent my undergraduate years at U of T where I received degrees in Mathematical Application in Economics and Finance, and Statistics.

My CV is available here.
