About me:
I am currently a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Data Science at New York University Shanghai and NYU Global Network Assistant Professor.

I was an Assistant Professor/Courant Instructor at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (CIMS) and Center for Data Science from 2017 to 2019. I worked closely with the Math and Data Group. I received Ph.D. degree in 2017 at Department of Mathematics, University of California, Davis, under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Strohmer.

Here is my CV and Google Scholar Page.
