About Me

I am now a first-year Machine Learning Ph.D. student at Georgia Institute of Technology, supervised by Professor Yongxin Chen. Previously, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Statistics from the School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University in 2023, where I was mentored by Professor Cheng Zhang. I am born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China in 2001.

Interests

I am broadly interested in fields ranging from statistics, probability, and machine learning.

Statistics: Bayesian Inference, Computational Statistics, Optimization, Sampling (Markov Chain Monte Carlo).

Probability: Optimal Transport and Gradient Flow Theory, Applied Stochastic Analysis, High-dimensional Probability.

Machine Learning: Deep Generative Modeling, Machine Learning Theory.

The focus and goal of my research are two-fold: to reveal the fundamental principles behind the success of data-driven algorithms and to use these insights to develop accessible, efficient, and robust approaches for solving real-world problems that are essential and valuable for our society.

I am also interested in la langue française (the French language), vernaculars of Chinese and minority languages in China, China’s railway system, aviation, architecture, and video games (especially action games such as The Last of Us and Assassin’s Creed). I am an enthusiast of traveling.
