Welcome :)
I am interested in Stochastic Processes and Bayesian Statistics. Currently, I am curious about Smooth Manifolds and their relationship with statistics.
At Duke, I was fortunate to be supervised by Dr. Jerry Reiter on a Bayesian record linkage research. Previously at CUFE, I was guided by Dr. Dongli Han. Both Dr. Reiter and Dr. Han have profoundly shaped my research perspective, and I am deeply grateful for their mentorship.
Outside of academia, I like badminton and trail running. I also studied music for about 8 years, reaching Level 8 in Clarinet from the Central Conservatory of Music (CCOM). Additionally, I enjoy learning different languages and am currently studying Japanese.
My trail running race portfolio includes:
Mount Ling Trail Race (21 km) — 2026
Three Peaks Trail Race (21 km) — 2021, 2023, 2024
Jingxi Ancient Road Trail Race (10 km) — 2023
