I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Statistics and Data Science at WUSTL, since July 2025. Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Statistics and Data Science, University of Pennsylvania, advised by Professor Dylan S. Small. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton University in May 2023, advised by Professor Jianqing Fan. Prior to Princeton, I obtained my B.S. with summa cum laude (Guo Muoruo Scholarship, <1%) from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), 2018.

I am seeking students or interns with a strong background in mathematics or programming. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me at myu@wustl.edu.
