About Me

I am a PhD student in Statistics at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. I am fortunate to work with Prof. T. Tony Cai. Previously, I obtained a MPhil in Mathematics from HKUST, advised by Prof. Dong Xia. I received my B.S. in Statistics (with honors) and B.A. in Management Information Systems from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University.
