Summary

Five-year Statistics Ph.D. from Auburn University, with research experience in Data Science, Quantitative Models, and Financial Risk Management. I deeply enjoy the analytical thinking and problem-solving process of statistical analysis and appreciate the value of exploration and innovation. I am also an enthusiastic learner intrigued by innovative technologies, algorithms and their applications. The following work, research experiences, and academic studies have given me the statistical tools and mindset to pursue inquiries systematically and logically. I have also developed solid collaborative skills to work with a team and the ability to undertake individual investigations independently.
