About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics & Data Science at the National University of Singapore. I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Biostatistics at Harvard University from 2022 to 2024, working with Prof. Tianxi Cai. I received a Ph.D in Statistics 2022 from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), advised by Prof. Hao Chen. Before that, I received my B.S. in Statistics and B.E. in Computer Science (dual) from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2019.

To Prospective Students:

I am seeking self-motivated students to join my research group or collaborate with me. If you are interested in collaborating, please email me your CV along with a brief introduction about yourself.

Research Interests

I am interested in developing statistical methodology and theory for electronic health records (EHR) data analysis. I’m also developing practical tools for analyzing high-dimensional and non-Euclidean data. I mainly work on representation learning, federated learning, transfer learning, reinforcement learning, network analysis, graph neural networks, large language models, and high-dimensional statistics. Recently, I am interested in:
