Bio
I am currently an AI Researcher at DRW, based in Palo Alto, California.
I am very fortunate to have worked with exceptional statisticians, as well as experts in machine learning and mathematical optimization, who are recognized with numerous awards and elected fellows of professional societies.
I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Pennsylvania from November 2024 to May 2025, jointly supervised by Prof. Weijie Su (2026 COPSS Presidents’ Award winner; IMS and ASA Fellows) from Department of Statistics and Data Science, The Wharton School and Prof. Qi Long (AAAS, IMS, ASA, ISI, AMIA and AIMBE Fellows) from Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, Perelman School of Medicine. Prior to my postdoctoral researcher position at Penn, I was a postdoctoral principal researcher in Econometrics and Statistics at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business from October 2023 to October 2024, supervised by Prof. Mladen Kolar (IMS Fellow). In my academic research, I have worked on the intersection of machine learning, optimization and statistics. See also my research for details.
Before my stint at Chicago Booth, I completed my Ph.D. in Statistics at Department of Statistics and Data Science of Northwestern University in 2023, advised by Prof. Han Liu. And before my Ph.D. study at Northwestern, I was a research assistant at Department of Mathematics of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Yuan Yao and Prof. Jian-Feng Cai. I worked towards my master research under the supervision of Prof. Emilie Chouzenoux and Prof. Jean-Christophe Pesquet (IEEE Fellow) at CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, France. I completed my previous degrees at HKUST and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) respectively.
