Biography

I am a Ph.D. student in Statistics at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

Previously I did research in The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) on time series, financial economics, and computer vision, respectively.
