Patient: Is it a boy or a girl?
Obstetrician: Now, I think I am a girl in a really kind family. This is my treasure and fortune.
Interested in Biology and Physics. Won the third prize in China High School Biology Olympiad and the second prize in China High School Physics Olympiad in Sichuan Province without any specific training.
Still grateful to the opportunity offered by University of Science and Technology, China . Ranked 5000+ in Sichuan Province but did not pass the test for gifted young held by USTC. Realized that I might not be goot at physics and math.
A totally new journey with amazing new subject regarding to randomness and probability.
Finally got 80 points--the square root of 64 times 10. Depressed and started to think about transferring to another major.
Historical moment. Gained 4 kilograms because of laziness and eating (the maximum weight is 68 kg). Depressed because of lockdown. Realized that life is so transient.
Lost 12 kilograms. Had 5.2 eyesight during daytime without wearing glasses. Feeling the world is much better.
Quitted at Aug 2021. Not all people are friendly and helpful. Hoped he cannot get tenure track. Realized people have to do something that is meaningful and interesting. Also, payment is the least reward.
Handled my first research project independently. Much effort was paied into it. My research interest changed to Information System.
Attended summer school held by RUC and statistical center, Peking university. Great thanks to Prof. Weijie Su and Prof. Yuling Jiao's introduction to statistical learning and high dimensional statistics. They are very active and professional researchers! I started to think about going further in statistics.
Became a research assistant for Prof. Tuan and Prof. Ivy Dang . Became a research assistant for Prof. Dan Yang and Prof. Haipeng Shen . The first group focuses on quantitative marketing and information system. The second group focuses on genes and statistics. They want to solve statistical genomics problems with unique dataset from a hospital. Although this project fails finally, my research interest changes to statistical genomics/biostatistics.
I am guided by my class instructor Prof. Yifan Sun . She is really patient. We focus on subgroup analysis and want to propose a more general algorithm under less assumptions. This work will soon be finished 2023.
I am exteremely fortunate to be guided by Prof. Jingshen Wang at Division of Biostatistics, UC Berkeley. She is an excellent and really nice advisor. I learned to be as rigorous as her in research.
So lucky to have opportunity to study at Prof. Jun S. Liu 's lab at Department of Statistics, Harvard Univeristy. I become interested in Computational Biology and Causal Inference. Jun is very talented and kind. I als0 met good alumni Xiaodong and friends Beining and Yuanchuan from USTC. They are really gifted rising stars in statistics and help me much in my application school list and application.
I began working on bioinformatics and statistical genomics at Prof. Jingyi Jessica Li 's lab JSB at Department of Statistics, UC Los Angeles and am advised by Dr. Xinzhou Ge . I also worked together with Zhengtong from UCLA on the project. This project opens a door for me to Bioinformatics.
Take much time, effort and patience. It is difficult to start something new. Just be patient and self-motivated. The best is yet to come. I got offers from Biostatistics MS Thesis program at University of Washington, Seattle , Biostatistics MA/PHD program at UC Berkeley , Biostatistics PHD program at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor , and Statistics PHD program at Rutgers University . Feeling so honored and surprised. I finially accepted offer from UC Berkeley.
I am working on my thesis for MVMR and news-induced financial data analysis using Machine Learning.
Academia or Industry? I vote for academia now. Hope I can get AP offers in United States.
