About Me

I'm a first-year M.A. Statistics student at UC Berkeley, with a deep interest in the intersection of statistical modeling, machine learning, and quantitative finance. My academic journey began at Zhejiang University where I graduated with honors in Economics (Advanced Class).

During internships at leading Chinese financial institutions, I applied gradient-boosting models and network analysis to build alpha-generating strategies and equity research pipelines. I thrive at turning raw, messy data into rigorous, interpretable models.

Outside of research, I served as President of the League of Economics School at Zhejiang University, organizing academic events and fostering a community of 500+ students.
