About Me

I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon, working on machine learning, statistical inference, and data-driven decision-making under imperfect data. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore in 2025, where my doctoral research studied computational and statistical guarantees for algorithms on high-dimensional data.

My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and causal inference. I am interested in reliable learning, testing, inference, and decision-making from imperfect data, particularly in settings involving selection bias, truncation, censoring, missing data, distribution shift, unmeasured confounding, and partial feedback. More recently, I have been interested in the gap between offline evaluation and online action: understanding what conclusions and decisions can be reliably justified from imperfect offline evidence.

My previous research experience includes an Applied Scientist internship at Amazon Germany, work at the Center for Integrative Artificial Intelligence at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, a visiting researcher position in the Causality program at the Simons Institute, UC Berkeley , and research work at Eindhoven University of Technology on the Deep Learning in Core and Edge project. I received my master’s degree from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and my bachelor’s degree from Northwest University, China.

I am always happy to connect with students and researchers interested in machine learning, statistics, causal inference, and reliable decision-making under imperfect data.
