About me

I’m a PhD student at the Department of Statistics and Data Science, Wharton School. My research centers on several interconnected themes, spanning probabilistic tool, statistical methodology and single-cell genomics.

Statistically speaking, I work on methodological and theoretical problems in hypothesis testing with complex data and its computational aspect. Concretely speaking, my research centers on giving satisfactory and practical answer to scientific discovery. The particular challenges of cutting-edge application scenario can result from one or more of the following aspects:

• Large scale data due to technology advancement.
• Low signal-to-noise ratio due to sparsity or heavy tail.
• High dimensionality and sensitivity to model misspecification.

I am fascinated about single-cell genomics application and it has become a main driving force for most of my statistical research. I have been working with Prof. Bhaswar B. Bhattacharya and Eugene Katsevich at Wharton.

In addition to research, I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring since I am deeply grateful for and benefit from the supervisors I have met, who have taught me far beyond just statistics. I have been a mentor for Undergraduate Research in Probability and Statistics and Directed Reading Program at UPenn.
