I am a Professor at the Data Science Institute, Shandong University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at City University of Hong Kong and a Postdoctoral Fellow at CREST/ENSAE Paris. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Toronto, an M.S. in Statistics from the University of Washington, and a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from 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.
