I am an assistant professor of Statistics and Data Science at Yale University.
Before joining Yale, I was a Stein Fellow in Stanford University’s Department of Statistics, where I was supervised by Tselil Schramm. I earned my Ph.D. in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Princeton University, where I was advised by Allan Sly and Emmanuel Abbe. I received my B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Hong Kong.
My research interests span discrete probability theory, algorithms and computational barriers, and high-dimensional statistics, and more recently AI for mathematics.
