I am a Ph.D. student at UC San Diego. I am fortunate to be advised by Yi-An Ma. I am also fortunate to work closely with Yu-Xiang Wang and Biwei Huang. Prior to that, I obtained my B.S. degree in Mathematics from Tsinghua University.
My research interest primarily lies in statistical sampling, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), Differential Privacy, diffusion models, and causality.
