About Me

I will be a Founder’s Postdoctoral Research Scientist and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Statistics at Columbia University, mentored by Dr. Genevera Allen. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2026, where I was fortunate to be advised by Dr. Anru Zhang and Dr. Richard Chappell.
