I am currently an undergraduate student at Weiyang College, Tsinghua University, majoring in Mathematics and Physics. I am applying for a PhD position in Statistics for Fall 2026.

My research interests broadly span statistical network analysis, including graphon estimation, latent space models, and (hyper)graph data analysis. I develop statistical methodologies to analyze large-scale, complex-structured datasets.

As a junior researcher, I’m always open to exploring new and interesting topics in stats/biostats, so if you have a topic that might interest both of us, feel free to reach out!

During my undergraduate study, it’s a great honor for me to work with Prof. Weichi Wu and Prof. Chenlei Leng on graphon models as my first research project. I spend a wonderful summer at UMich collaborating with Prof. Ji Zhu and Prof. Gongjun Xu on hypergraph generation, an experience that has greatly enriched my academic journey.

Please feel free to call me Faye. I am originally from Shanghai.

My favorite sports include archery and shooting. At Tsinghua, I’m training with a recurve bow and air rifle. These sports combine strength, precision, and focus, and I look forward to continuing regular training throughout my PhD studies! :)
