About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics & Data Science at the National University of Singapore. Before joining NUS, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Fuqua School of Business and the Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics at Duke University, jointly supervised by Dr. Alexandre Belloni and Dr. Ethan X. Fang. Prior to my postdoctoral position, I obtained my PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard University in 2023, where I was jointly supervised by Dr. Xihong Lin and Dr. Junwei Lu. I earned a B.A. and a B.S. in Mathematics (dual) from Peking University in 2018.

Research Interests

My research interests primarily include large-scale inference, combinatorial inference, choice model asymptotics, operations research theories, applied probability, and distributed computing.
