About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Biostatistics at Columbia University, working with Professor Yuanjia Wang. I also serve on the Statistical Society of Canada ’s Student and Recent Graduates Committee. Previously, I was research trainees at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital, the University of Toronto, and the University of Wetsern Ontario.

During my graduate studies, my research focused on developing statistical methodologies and machine learning techniques to address challenges posed by noisy data, including missing data, censored data, and measurement errors. Currently, I am exploring how statistical and reinforcement learning models can be leveraged to characterize human behavior, and how we can effectively and adaptively integrate information from various studies to advance precision medicine.
