PhD Candidate, Mathematical Institute, Leiden University
About
I am a PhD candidate at the Mathematical Institute, Leiden University, currently focused on causal inference and survival analysis.
Born in 1999 in Yantai, China — a city well known for its apples. Outside research I enjoy reading, across history, fiction, and beyond. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
