I am an assistant professor of Marketing at the Warrington College of Business, the University of Florida.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Data Science Institute and IICD, Columbia University, mentored by Prof. David M. Blei and Prof. Simon Tavaré. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Texas at Austin, supervised by Prof. Mingyuan Zhou. Before coming to UT, I spent four years as undergraduate at the math department of Fudan University, Shanghai.

My research focuses on the intersection of Bayesian statistics, machine learning, causal inference, and marketing research. The topics I am interested in include

• Probabilistic machine learning: deep generative model, meta-learning, conformal inference, topic model
• Bayesian inference and modeling: variational inference, uncertainty estimation, discrete latent variable models
• Causal inference: heterogeneous treatment effects, sensitivity analysis, quasi-experiments, fairness
• Marketing research: customer analytics, online advertising, two-sided markets, unstructured data analysis
