About

I am a software engineer with the Perception team at Nuro. I got my Ph.D. in statistics from the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Mingyuan Zhou. My research interest was on deep learning and Bayesian statistics. Before my Ph.D., I obtained my bachelor degree in Mathematics from Beihang University in 2016 and my master degree in Mathematics from Texas A&M University in 2017.
