I am an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Iowa.

I obtained my Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Professor Hui Zou. I got my master's degree in the business school at Bowling Green State University and my bachelor's degree at Nankai University.
