Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Previously, I was a postdoc researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Research Interests
Our lab aims to bridge the theoretical and empirical boundary of modern statistics and machine learning methods (self-supervised learning, nonparametric and high-dimensional statistics) and advance the practice of statistics in biomedical applications (microbiome and imaging).
Additional Campus Affiliations
