About
I am a research assistant in the finance group of MIT Sloan School of Management, working on cryptocurrency and macrofinance for Professors Antoinette Schoar and Jonathan A. Parker. I received M.S. Statistics from the University of Chicago in July 2019. Before that, I worked on machine learning optimization at SHUFE-RIIS and Cardinal Operations in Shanghai, China. From 2014 to 2017, I studied Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and received a B.S. degree with summa cum laude and departmental honors. I published a large-scale machine learning optimization algorithm in IEEE Trans. Signal Process. with Dr. Kun Yuan and Professor Ali H. Sayed at UCLA. Before running out of my spare time, I practiced quantitative trading in the Chinese stock market. I am from Zhengzhou, China.
