I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am also a part of the NSF Science and Technology Center for Quantitative Cell Biology, the Personalized Nutrition Initiative, and the Microbial Systems Initiative at UIUC. Previously, I was a postdoc researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and my B.S. in Mathematics from Zhejiang University. 

Our lab aims to bridge the theoretical and empirical boundary of modern statistics and machine learning methods (with a recent focus on self-supervised learning) and advance the practice of statistics in biomedical applications (multi-omics and imaging data).
