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. You can find more about my recent research here.

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 traveling around (see my personal blogs!), 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!

P.S. The background of the profile sidebar is designed by me following Mondrian's style :).
