I am currently an assistant professor in the College of Mathematics and Physics at Beijing University of Chemenical Technology (BUCT). Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science (AMSS) of CAS, working with Professor Shihua Zhang.

I graduated from School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University in June 2017 under the supervision of Professor Jinzhu Jia. From August 2015 to August 2016, I studied in Statistics and Data Science at Carnegie Mellon University as a visiting PhD student under the supervision of Professor Jing Lei.

Research Interests:
  • Biomathematics & Bioinformatics & Biostatistics.
  • Bayesian Statistics.
  • High-dimensional Statistical Inference.
  • Interdisciplinary application of math, statistics, and deep learning.
