Academic Achievements
  • Teaching: IE3521: Statistics, Quality, and Reliability (Fall 2024, Fall 2025); IE5533: Operations Research for Data Science (Spring 2025, Spring 2026)
Research Experience
  • Assistant Professor, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Minnesota
Background
  • Research Interest: My research interest lies in the interface of statistics, optimization, and machine learning, inspired by important applications. Research areas include diffusion generative models, large language models, transfer learning, differential privacy, adversarial robustness; time series analysis, sequential hypothesis testing and change detection; healthcare (wearable sensors and electronic health record data), spatio-temporal data analysis, community detection, and manufacturing quality control.
Miscellany
  • Actively looking for Ph.D. students to join my research group in Fall 2025 or 2026.
