Hello, this is Yikun, welcome to my website! I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in Statistics at the Department of Statistics and Data Science, Northwestern University. I am very fortunately supervised by Prof. Matey Neykov. My research interests include hypothesis testing, minimax theory, optimization method in statistics, and machine learning theory.
Prior to joining Northwestern, I received my B.S. degree in Statistics in 2023 from the Department of Probability and Statistics, School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University, where I spent four wonderful years. During my undergraduate studies, I was very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wei Lin.
In additional to my study and research, I have various interests. In my spare time, I enjoy playing badminton and reading books. Additionally, I am an amateur Go player with three Dan certification. I am also a fan of Minecraft and Counter-Strike 2. Feel free to chat with me about these topics if you are interested!
