I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Junhui WANG. Prior to this, I earned my Ph.D. from City University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Min XIE, and my B.S. in Statistics from Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Zhi GENG.
