个人简介
I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Natural Sciences (INS) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I am also affiliated with the School of Mathematical Sciences and the SJTU-YALE Joint Center for Biostatistics and Data Science.
I graduated from the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard University in 2018. My advisors are Professor Franziska Michor and Professor James M. Robins. My current research lies in nonparametric, semiparametric and high-dimensional statistics, robust statistical methods, causal inference, computational and mathematical biology.
I am also interested in the theory of deep learning, estimation and inference in inverse problems and applying causal inference tools in biomedical research.
I obtained my undergraduate degree from the School of Life Sciences at Tongji University, under the supervision of Professor Yong Zhang.
