I am a Ph.D. student and Trust scholar at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, the University of Cambridge. My current research project concentrates on computational statistics and Bayesian inference. I am working and being supervised by Dr. Robert Goudie. Before I joined Cambridge, I took an MPhil under the supervision of Dr. Tommy Lam at the University of Hong Kong and did Part III Maths at Cambridge. I got a BSc. in statistics from Nankai University. I am interested in the development of advanced and adaptive statistical methods to deal with high-dimensional and complex data set. My current research interests include the modularized Bayesian inference, spatial model, and regression model. I am also interested in infectious disease modeling with a particular focus on respiratory disease.
