About Me

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in Department of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) at Stanford University, working with Prof. Jose Blanchet and Prof. Peter Glynn.

Prior to that, I recieved my Ph.D. at Peking Univerisity in 2023, where I was advised by Prof. Zhihua Zhang. Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree in Statistics from School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University in 2018.

My research interests lie broadly in the intersection areas among probability, statistics and machine learning, with applications spanning operations research, reinforcement learning, and deep learning. Specifically, I am interested in establishing modern statistical theories for large-scale models and designing practical algorithms with theoretical guarantees.

I am on the 2025-2026 job market looking for full-time academia positions. I am happy to discuss any opportunities!
