About me

I am a Statistics PhD student in University of Texas at Austin. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Stephen G. Walker. My current research mainly focuses on Bayesian statistics, especially Bayesian nonparametric methods and uncertainty quantification, and generative models. I am also interested in gradient-based methods, Monte Carlo methods, optimization and statistical machine learning.

Before moving to Austin, I received an M.S. degree in Statistics from University of Chicago in 2020, and a B.S. degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Fudan University in 2018.
