About Me

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biostatistics at Yale University, supervised by Prof. Heping Zhang. I completed my Ph.D. in Statistics at Purdue University in 2023, where I was supervised by Prof. Chuanhai Liu. Before that, I received my Master degree in Statistics from Columbia University in 2019, supervised by Prof. Tian Zheng. I received my Bachelor degree in Economics from Fudan University in 2017.

My research focuses on developing valid and efficient methodologies for statistical analysis. I am particularly interested in designing tools that are grounded in fundamental statistical principles while also integrating advances from modern machine learning and artificial intelligence. Specifically, my research interests include:

• Statistical foundations of data science
• Reliable methods for predictive modeling and statistical inference
• Statistical genetics and the application of statistical methods to biomedical data

I’m excited to join the Dr. Bing Zhang Department of Statistics at the University of Kentucky as an Assistant Professor in August 2025!
