I am a biostatistics researcher interested in causal inference, statistical learning, and trustworthy AI, with an emphasis on developing rigorous and scalable methodologies for genetics, genomics, and integrative analysis of multimodal biomedical and environmental data.

I received my PhD in Quantitative and Computational Biology with a Graduate Certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning from Princeton University, where I was advised by Professor John D. Storey.

Before Princeton, I received a Master of Science from the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard University, and received Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Economics from Peking University.
