About Me
I am currently a postdoctoral principal researcher in Econometrics and Statistics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business under the supervision of Prof. Mladen Kolar. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics at Department of Statistics and Data Science of Northwestern University, advised by Prof. Han Liu. I work broadly at the interface of statistics, machine learning and optimization. See also my bio for details.
