Research

I have broad interests in mathematical theory and algorithms. In recent years, my research has focused on: (1) Mean-field high dimensional statistics (2) High-dimensional probability, and (3) Combinatorial stochastic processes. More recently, I have been studying optimal transport and learning theory, with a particular emphasis on generative model and reinforcement learning.
