BIOGRAPHY

I am a PhD student at UC San Diego department of Computer Science and Engineering, advised by Prof. Rose Yu and Prof. Yian Ma. I received my Bachelor degree of science in Applied Math, Physics, and Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020. My research interests are in Bayesian Inference and Spatiotemporal Forecasting.
