About me

Hi, I'm a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at UCLA. Previously, I received my B.S. in Mathematics from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2022. In the fall of 2021, I also attended Columbia University as an exchange student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

My research interests are focused on statistical machine learning theory. Currently, I am a member of the Lab for Statistics, Computing, Algorithms, Learning, and Economics (SCALE) at UCLA. Under the supervision of Prof. Xiaowu Dai, I am conducting research on machine learning and economics. Specifically, my current focus is on studying mechanism design in auctions.
