I'm a Norbert Wiener postdoctoral associate at the Statistics and Data Science Center (SDSC) in MIT IDSS.
My research interests lie in statistical machine learning, high-dimensional and nonparametric statistics, online learning and bandits, and information theory.
I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in Aug 2021, under the supervision of Tsachy Weissman. In 2021-22, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, University of California, Berkeley. Prior to that, I received my B.E. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University in Jul 2015.
Future news: Starting from Sept 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Data Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Center for Data Science, NYU.
