Academic Achievements
  • Serves as an Associate Editor for Bayesian Analysis and ACM Transactions on Probabilistic Machine Learning (TOPML).
Research Experience
  • Currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science, National University of Singapore; Was a postdoctoral associate at Duke University's Department of Statistical Science.
Education
  • Received B.S. in Statistics from School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University in 2009; Ph.D. from Department of Statistics at Northwestern University in 2014, under the supervision of Wenxin Jiang; Postdoctoral associate at Duke University's Department of Statistical Science, working with David B. Dunson before 2016.
Background
  • Research focuses on scalable Bayesian inference for big data, Gaussian process, and Bayesian nonparametrics. Particularly works on Bayesian methodology and computational strategies that can scale Bayesian posterior sampling algorithms to massive data with complex dependencies. Recently, has been working on the theoretical foundation of scalable Gaussian process approximation for massive spatial data.
