Biography

I was born and raised in China. In 2012, I embarked on my undergraduate studies in the United States. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mathematics, followed by another Master's degree in Statistics, and ultimately achieved a Doctoral degree in Statistics from the University of Kentucky.
