Research

My primary research interests lie in the applications of probabilistic and statistical methods in biology and physical science, particularly in Uncertainty Quantification, Bayesian Methods, and Sampling Methods.

During my undergraduate, I tried to use stochastic models to give insight into biochemical networks and corresponding phenomena, for example, HIV latency.

Now I’m focusing on developing efficient statistical algorithms for inferences, emulations, and model calibration.
