Hi! I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at the University of Toronto. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wenlong Mou and Prof. Xin Bing. I am also affiliated with the Vector Institute. Prior to my Ph.D. study, I received my B.S. in Statistics from Nanjing University in 2024.

My research primarily focuses on the intersection of machine learning theory, statistics, and optimization. Currently, I work on Reinforcement Learning and Mean-Field Langevin Dynamics.
