Ph.D Candidate in Statistics

About Me

I am a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in Statistics at the University of Michigan, where I work with Professor Xuanlong Nguyen and Professor Yixin Wang. My research focuses on Causal Inference, Optimal Transport, and Generative Models. I hold an M.Sc. in Statistics from the University of Washington and a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Imperial College London. While at Imperial, I worked with Professor Seth Flaxman on Gaussian Processes and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs).
