About Me

I am a PhD student in Department of Statistics, The Pennsylvania State University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Matthew Reimherr. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor degree in Statistics from University of Science and Technology of China.

My research interests are mainly focusing on statistical transfer learning, functional/longitudinal data and differential privacy with kernel methods. Currently, I’m interested in leveraging kernel methods to address learning problems with different types of distribution shifts.
