On the job market for the 2026–2027 cycle. I am seeking postdoctoral or faculty positions (lecturer / tenure-track assistant professor), open globally. My research interests span mathematical statistics, probability and stochastic processes, causal representation learning, and causal world models, with a focus on identifiability and asymptotic theory for continuous-time dynamical systems (ODEs and SDEs). Please feel free to reach out.

About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in machine learning at MBZUAI, Abu Dhabi. I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne in 2025 and earned my M.S. in Data Science there in 2021. During my Ph.D., I was fortunate to be advised by Mingming Gong (principal), Wei Huang, Xi Geng, and Biwei Huang.

I study continuous-time dynamical systems through the lens of causality, particularly those governed by ordinary and stochastic differential equations (ODEs and SDEs), the natural language of physical, biological, and embodied systems. My earlier work established identifiability and causal inference for ODE/SDE systems in the observational space; my current focus has moved into the latent space, where the latent dynamics are observed only through an unknown nonlinear mixing.

Current directions:
