I am an assistant professor in the Department of Data Science at the City University of Hong Kong. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at CREST/ENSAE Paris, hosted by Prof. Arnak S. Dalalyan. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Prof. Stanislav Volgushev and Prof. Murat A. Erdogdu. Before that, I obtained an MS degree in Statistics at the University of Washington and a BSc in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Shandong University.

My research lies in the confluence of machine learning, optimization, and statistics. I am broadly interested in developing theoretical guarantees that align closely with practical experience in these fields. My current research focuses on sampling algorithms and generative models.
