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 in 2016.

My research interests include:

High-dimensional statistical inference
Causal discovery
Factor models
Graphical models
Statistical learning with applications to business analytics, econometrics, genetics and microbiome research.

My research is partially supported by NIH R01GM152812.
