I am actively seeking internships for the summer of 2025.

About me

Hi, I'm a third-year Ph.D. candidate 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 include statistical machine learning, optimal auction design, uncertainty quantification, reinforcement learning, and large language models. I am currently a member of the Lab for Statistics, Computing, Algorithms, Learning, and Economics (SCALE) at UCLA. Under the supervision of Prof. Xiaowu Dai, I have conducted research on robust multi-item auction design and online auction design using uncertainty quantification methods. My current projects involve exploring variance reduction techniques via subsampling and experience replay, as well as examining large language models from a game-theoretic perspective.
