πŸ‘‹ Hi, there! Welcome to my personal website : )

Greetings! I am currently a graduate student at Cornell University in the Department of Statistics and Data Science. I graduated in 2024 with an Honours B.S. degree in the Faculty of Arts and Science at University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada. During my undergraduate studies, I was a visiting student at Renmin University of China and Nankai University in Summer 2021. I have engaged in multiple projects including Bayesian estimation for distributional differences, multiple linear regression for multivariate data analysis, and Monte Carlo approximations. My research interests continue to focus on Applied Statistics, Environmental Science, Data Analysis, and Machine Learning.
