Google Scholar Profile

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Davis. I hold a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I was advised by Professor Elizaveta Levina and Professor Roman Vershynin.

My research interests include network analysis, random graph theory and high dimensional problems.
