I am currently a WiSE Gabilan Assistant Professor in the Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California. Before joining USC, I spent two years as a Hooke Research Fellow in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford mentored by Professor Rama Cont. I completed my Ph.D. in IEOR Department at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Professor Xin Guo in 2019. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2014. Please find my CV here.

We are organizing a World Online Seminar on Machine Learning in Finance (since March 2021). Please find out more here!
