Assistant Professor at UCR

About me

I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Riverside. I am also a faculty member of the UCR Graduate Program in Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2022 to 2024. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from North Carolina State University in 2022. My research interests lie broadly in statistical machine learning, computational statistics, and numerical optimization, with applications in (1) bioinformatics and cancer biology, and (2) LLM evaluation.

I am actively looking for highly motivated Ph.D. students to work on 1) method and algorithm development in statistics and machine learning, 2) LLM evaluation, and 3) applications in cancer biology. Please feel free to send me an email with your CV if you are interested.
