I plan to graduate in 2025 May and am currently on the job market!

I am currently a 5th year Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado, Boulder. My advisors are Prof. Alireza Doostan and Prof. Stephen Becker, who are two great people to work with. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2020, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics with high distinction.

I am inclined to think the world in a probabilistic way, especially enjoy working on problems in the presense of uncertainty and potentially multi-fideity. Most of my research works focus on designing clever algorithms in statistical inference and optimization.

Outside of my research, I am passionate about skiing and hiking. Living in Colorado bestows me with opportunities to explore some of the most stunning mountains and ski resorts. Among them, Big Sky and Snowbird/Alta remain my favorites, despite them both being outside Colorado; (
