About me

I am an Associate Professor in Department of Statistics, at Rutgers University. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics at University of Pennsylvania in 2017 and I was fortunate to be advised by Professor T. Tony Cai. Before that, I received my bachelor degree in Mathematics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Research

I am broadly interested in high-dimensional statistical inference, causal inference, post-selection inference, semisupervised and transfer learning, and applications to genetics and health studies.

• Uncertainty Quantification for High-dimensional Models.

• Causal Inference with Instrumental Variables.

• Machine Learning for Statistical Tasks.

• Multi-source Learning.

• Nonstandard Inference with Sampling Methods.

Education

• Ph.D. in Statistics, The Wharton School, The University of Pennsylvania, May 2017.

• B.S. First honor in Mathematics, Department of Mathematics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, July 2012.
