About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics and Data Science at the University of California, Davis. Prior to joining UC Davis in 2026, I received a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Michigan, where I was fortunate to be advised by Ji Zhu and Gongjun Xu. I received my bachelor's degree from Fudan University in 2021.
My research interests include relational structures, (hyper)graph network analysis, latent space methods; generative modeling and representation learning for structured data; statistical machine learning, computing, high-dimensional statistics, and their applications in Health Care, Economics/Finance, and Psychology.
