I am an Assistant Professor (term-limited) in the Department of Statistics at Columbia University. My research interests fall within a wide spectrum of high-dimensional statistics, and their applications in biomedical sciences. I am also embarking on several new directions including empirical Bayes, optimal transport, generative models.

I obtained my PhD from the Department of Statistics at Rutgers University, advised by Professor Cun-Hui Zhang. Then I spent two years at Yale University, working as a postdoc supervised by Professor Heping Zhang. Prior to US, I was an undergraduate at Peking University studying statistics and biomedical sciences (double majors).
