Biography

I’m a Ph.D. student in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne, where I also completed my Master’s in Data Science. I’m incredibly fortunate to be advised by a fantastic team: Mingming Gong (principal supervisor), Wei Huang , Xi Geng, and Biwei Huang.

I’m passionate about understanding and reasoning about dynamical systems through the lens of causality—particularly those governed by ODEs and SDEs. Lately, I’ve been fascinated by causal representation learning and diffusion-based generative models.
