I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Statistics at Harvard University with Professor Susan Murphy.

I obtained my PhD degree in Statistics from University of Michigan advised by Professor Ambuj Tewari. Before joining University of Michigan, I obtained my B.S. degree in Data Science from Peking University in 2018, where I was advised by Professor Song Xi Chen.

Research Interests. My primary research interests lie in developing sequential decision-making approaches and theories for Digital and Mobile Health. My works include designing sample-efficient learning methods, inference methods for adaptively collected data, and transfer/multitask learning approaches to address the continual nature of health applications.
