Profile

My background.

I am a Ph.D. student in the Data Science and Analytics Thrust at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), advised by Prof. Tianyuan Jin.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Finance from the School of Management at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in July 2026. During my undergraduate studies, I was advised by Prof. Weiwei Zhuang, and my research focused on e-values, multiple testing, and sequential inference.
