I am a Ph.D. student in Statistics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Professor Phillip YAM, supported by the CUHK Vice-Chancellor’s Ph.D. Scholarship. I received my B.Sc. in Computational Data Science with a minor in Risk Management Science from CUHK in 2026, graduating with First Class Honours.

My research interests lie in stochastic optimal control and its intersection with deep learning and statistical machine learning.
