I am currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of California Davis (starting from 2020). I am also a faculty in Graduate Group in Applied Mathematics(GGAM). From 2018-2020, I was a research associate at Duke University working with Hau-Tieng Wu. Before that, I got my PhD in statistics in 2018 from the University of Toronto (2014-2018), under the supervision of Jeremy Quastel.

My research lies in mathematical statistics and statistical learning theory. Currenly, I mainly focus on the following topics: applied random matrix theory and its statistical and algorithmic applications, non-stationary time series and functional time series analysis, statistical analysis of algorithms (machine learning, manifold learning and deep learning) for complex, high-dimensional and noisy data. My research is currently supported by the National Science Foundation. Thanks, NSF!
