Hi, I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Data Science at University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Prof. Qiongshi Lu and Lauren Schmitz. Previously, I got my undergraduate degree in Statistics from Nanjing University.

I am interested in the reliable use of AI/ML to accelerate genetic and scientific discovery, and in understanding the mechanisms and implications of treatment and genetic effect heterogeneity.

I develop theory, methods, and software for analyzing genetic data, with a focus on accelerating drug discovery and advancing precision medicine.

Here are my selected papers, google scholar, and CV.
