My CV and google citation page.

I have general research interests in statistics, machine learning, and mathematical signal processing. Particularly, I am interested in proposing optimization and spectral methods for data analysis, and study their statistical efficiency and adaptivity to data structure, in particular under low-assumption or assumptionless frameworks

I am now interested and have been actively working in the following topics:

• Nonparametric statistics
• High-dimensional statistics
• Network statistical analysis
• Machine learning theory
• mathematical signal processing
• Convex and nonconvex optimization
