Personal Profile

I am currently an Assistant Professor under the Hundred Talents Program at Shenzhen Audencia Financial Technology Institute, Shenzhen University. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2026 and my bachelor’s degree from the School of the Gifted Young at the same university. During my doctoral studies, I visited The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where I worked as a research assistant. My research focuses on statistical modeling for complex data, including high-dimensional statistics and factor models, non-Euclidean statistics, and heterogeneous data analysis. My work has been published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association and the Journal of Multivariate Analysis. I was selected for the Young Elite Scientists Sponsorship Program for PhD Candidates in 2024 and have received the Chinese Academy of Sciences President’s Scholarship and the National Scholarship.
