Biostatistics Ph.D. Student at New York University.

Welcome!

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Biostatistics at New York University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professors Yajun Mei and Shu Xu ! I am exploring topics in image segmentation and uncertainty quantification. I aim to develop transparent and reliable methods to augment decision-making.

I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, studying Data Science, Statistics, and Economics. I had the privilege of working with Professor Bin Yu , developing uncertainty quantification methods under the Predictability–Computability–Stability (PCS) framework to support trustworthy decision-making. I also worked as an undergraduate researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with Dr. Alex Sim , Dr. John Wu , and Professor Jinoh Kim , where I developed conditional LSTM models to analyze and predict networking performance. In addition, I was part of the BOBA Lab, working under the guidance of Professor Park Sinchaisri on research in Human–AI interaction.

Teaching

I enjoy teaching and mentoring. Here are some of the courses I’ve helped run at UC Berkeley. Responsibilities typically include leading discussions or lab sections (with around 25–30 students), reviewing course material, writing exam, and holding office hours.

[Teaching Assistant] DATA 102: Data, Inference, and Decisions

Content: Bayesian/frequentist inference, causal inference, robustness, fairness, decision theory.

Fall 2024, [Infrastructure Head] Spring 2025

[Teaching Assistant] DATA 100: Principles and Techniques of Data Science

Content: EDA, regression/classification, data cleaning, visualization, scalable data processing.

Summer 2024
