"My general research interest lies in Bayesian computation, Bayesian modeling, machine learning, and causal inference.

Before Flatiron, I earned my PhD in Statistics from Columbia University in 2021 under the supervision of Andrew Gelman. Before that, I obtained my undergraduate education from Tsinghua University in Mathematics and in Economics.

My ultimate goal is to develop a scalable Bayesian workflow for open-ended real-data problems. For example, some recent applications included lead fallout in Paris, arsenic diffusion in groundwater, and Covid-19 mortality in Bangladesh."
