Prospective Students
My research focuses on statistical methodology and theory, particularly semiparametric and nonparametric inference, the density ratio model, and empirical likelihood, with an emphasis on problems involving data integration, distribution shift, and causal inference.
I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD and research students interested in working with me. Please email me with your CV, academic transcript, and a brief description of your research interests or proposed research ideas. Prospective students are encouraged to get in touch before submitting a formal application.
