I received my PhD in Statistics from the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 2025, where I was 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.
