I am a PhD student from Mathematics Deparment in University of California, Irvine, expected to graduate in 2025. I am honored to work with my advisor, Professor Roman Vershynin. Before that, I obtained my bachelor degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from University of Science and Technology of China in 2020. My personal CV is here.
My research is mainly in probability theory, including data science, differential privacy, random matrices, combinatorics, etc.
I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market for postdoctoral positions.
