I got my Ph.D. in Statistics from Columbia University in May 2021. I worked with Prof. Liam Paninski on statistical machine learning for neural data science during my Ph.D. study. Previously, I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Fudan University at Shanghai, China in 2016 with honors.
