I am a Reader in the Department of Statistics, University of Warwick and a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, previously an Associate Professor in the University of Warwick, a Lecturer in the University of Bristol, a postdoc of Professor Richard Samworth and a graduate student of Professor Zhiliang Ying. I obtained my academic degrees from Fudan University (B.Sc. in Mathematics, June 2009 and Ph.D. in Mathematical Statistics, June 2013).
I am an Associate Editor of Biometrika (2019-), an Associate Editor of Bernoulli (2022-) and an editorial board reviewer of Journal of Machine Learning Research (2020-).
My research is partially funded by DMS-EPSRC EP/V013432/1 and EPSRC EP/W003716/1.
