About me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, working under the supervision of Professors Linglong Kong and Bei Jiang. I recieved my Ph.D. Degree in Statistics from the School of Statistics, Beijing Normal University in 2024 and I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Xu Guo. My research interests include High-Dimensional Statistical Inference, Instrumental Variables, and Fairness.
