Brief Biography

I am currently a PhD student with research interests in statistical learning and its application on reliable machine learning at College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, supervised by Prof. Bo An. Before that, I received my B.Sc. degree from College of Science, China Agricultural University, China, in 2021, supervised by Prof. Yitian Xu.
