I am a Stefan E. Warschawski Math Fellow in the Mathematics Department at the University of California, San Diego. From January to May 2026, I was an ICERM Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics at Brown University. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Mathematics Department at the University of California, Irvine, under the supervision of my advisor, Professor Roman Vershynin. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2020. My personal CV is here.
My research is mainly in probability theory, including data science, differential privacy, random matrices, combinatorics, randomized numerical linear algebra, etc.
