Fan Wang

I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Warwick Maths and Stats CDT program, under the supervision of Professor Yi Yu. I obtained my Master's degree in Mathematical Statistics (Part III) from the University of Cambridge in 2020, and my Bachelor's degree in Advanced Mathematics from the University of Sydney in 2018.
