“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”
— Bertrand Russell
Welcome to my homepage!
I’m a second-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Prof. Kris Sankaran. Before coming to Madison, I received my B.Sc with honors in Statistics at Southern University of Science and Technology.
I have board interests in statistics, mathematics, bioinformatics and computer science. It is the philosophical significance of statistics that attracts me to the study of statistics. My current research focuses on controllable and trustworthy deep generative modeling and simulation for single-cell data.
