Short bio

Before joining UIUC, I was a postdoctoral associate at Yale University jointly supervised by Hongyu Zhao and Shuangge Ma. I received my PhD in Biostatistics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013 under the supervision of Michael Kosorok, and a MA in Statistics from Bowling Green State University in 2008. Prior to that, I obtained my BS in Mathematics and BS in Financial Engineering from Nanjing University in China.
