Research interests: generalization theory, machine learning and statistics

About Me

I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the School of Statistics and Management, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (2024-). I did my PhD at Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University, advised by Professor Yang Yuan (2020-2024). I did my undergraduate at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, advised by Professor Yang Bai (2016-2024). I previously visited Princeton University, advised by Professor Sanjeev Arora (2023).

Research Interests

My research interests lie in the machine learning theory, especially in the generalization of neural networks. I am also interested in statistical learning theory, including conformal inference and causal inference.
