About me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics (ACMS) at the University of Notre Dame.  

I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the Pennsylvania State University in 2021. I was very fortunate to be co-advised by Dr. Runze Li and Dr. Lingzhou Xue. Prior to graduate school, I received my B.S. in Statistics from School of the Gifted Young  at  University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2016. I became an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute in 2025.

My research interests include:

• High-dimensional statistical inference

• Causal discovery

• Factor models

• Graphical models

• Statistical learning with applications to business analytics, econometrics, social sciences and public health. 

My research is partially supported by NIH R01GM152812 (Multiple-PI role).
