About me

I recently graduated from Stanford with a PhD in statistics. During my time at Stanford, I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Guido Imbens and Professor Johan Ugander. My research interests lie in causal inference and machine learning, especially causal inference with interference and online experimentation. Recently, I am also fascinated by the breakthroughs in large language models (LLM). Before coming to Stanford, I completed my undergraduate studies at University of Michigan in 2018 where I obtained B.S. degrees in (Honors) mathematics and (Honors) statistics, with a minor in computer science. I did internships at Microsoft in 2018 and Meta/Facebook in 2021 and 2022.

My dissertation addresses testing, estimation and inference problems for causal inference with interference. Individual chapters can be found in publications page.
