About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Statistics at George Washington University, working with Dr. Feifang Hu. Before that I was a Master's student at Queen's University, advised by Dr. Yanglei Song and Dr. Wenyu Jiang, and I did my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Queen's.

My research is mostly about inference for sequential problems. Randomized trials that adapt their allocation as patients arrive are the case I care about most. Alongside that I work on using AI tools in medical research.

Away from the desk I play basketball, piano, and Go. Since 2024 I have chaired the Ph.D. student committee in the Department of Statistics at GWU.
