I am a Ph.D. candidate of Statistics at University of Michigan. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xuming He and Prof. Kean Ming Tan. Prior to this, I obtained my M.S. in statistics from University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I was privileged to be advised by Prof. Vivak Patel. My research interests lie in expected shortfall regression, causal inference, tree-based methods, and stochastic optimization.
