About

Hello, I’m Yajie. I develop statistical methods for reliable uncertainty quantification and decision-making in modern machine learning.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the School of Management, Fudan University.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the School of Statistics and Data Science, Nankai University, advised by Prof. Changliang Zou. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervision of Prof. Dong Han and Prof. Haojie Ren. From 2022 to 2024, I virtually visited Prof. Mingrui Liu’s lab at George Mason University. I earned my B.S. in Statistics from East China Normal University.
