I am an associate professor in statistics, in economics (adjunct) at the University of Washington, and an affiliated investigator in Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. I obtained my Ph.D. (Biostatistics) from Johns Hopkins University in 2015. The last two years of my graduate study were supported by a Google Ph.D. Fellowship. Previously, I received my B.S. (Mathematics) from Peking University and M.S. (Biostatistics) from University of Minnesota.
I am a current associate editor for Bernoulli (01/2022-present) and an editorial advisory board member
of Dependence Modeling (01/2025-present). My research is supported by NSF DMS-1712536, SES-2019363, and DMS-2210019.
I am a mathematical statistician.
