Yicong Jiang

I am a Ph.D. student and a teaching fellow in the Department of Statistics at Harvard University, advised by Professor Lucas Janson and Professor Tracy Ke.

My expertise lies in statistical modeling, machine learning, time series data, experimental design, and causal inference. I also have a deep understanding of finance and economics, particularly in pricing models and trade strategy. Additionally, I am proficient in C++, Python, and R.

Previously, I obtained an Honorary Bachelor's degree in Statistics and a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Peking University. I also interned at Microsoft Research Asia, where I conducted research on machine learning with a focus on differential privacy.
