About Me

I am currently a junior student at Weiyang College, Tsinghua University, pursuing a dual major in Mathematics and Physics, as well as Civil Engineering and Systems.

In addition to my undergraduate coursework, I am fortunate to be mentored by Professor Kyra Gan, with whom I explore local discovery and hybrid global causal discovery with local search strategies. My research primarily centers on devising robust and efficient inference and causal discovery methods. More broadly, I am captivated by the challenge of constructing abstract mathematical models to address real-world problems and applying interpretable statistical techniques to data from physics, biology, social sciences, and engineering.

I am always open to engaging in discussions or forging new friendships. Please feel free to reach out to me via email if you share similar interests or simply wish to connect.

Miscellaneous

I am very fond of puzzle-solving games. I enjoy watching and following tennis and figure skating. I have a deep appreciation for traditional Chinese music and classical poetry. While I am not particularly keen on sports, I greatly enjoy traveling and savoring local cuisines.
