About me

I received the B.S. degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from the Nankai University, China, in 2013, and the M.S. degree in Probability and Mathematical Statistics from Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, in 2016. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Industrial & Systems Engineering in Georgia Institute of Technology. My research interests are statistical modeling and machine learning for various applications.
