About Me

I am a fourth-year undergraduate at University of Toronto. I am currently studying in the Computer Science Specialist and Statistics Major program. My research interests lie in machine learning and deep learning, especially in 3D learning tasks, computer vision and image understandings. Besides, I am also interested in data science and modelling, especially for topics including computational statistics, causal inference and statistical genetics.
