I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto since July 2022. My research focuses on developing statistical and computational methods for analyzing complex, high-dimensional data, with particular interests in dimension reduction and data integration. I am especially interested in developing methodology that is both theoretically grounded and practically useful, and I enjoy collaborating with scientists on applications in biology, medicine, and neuroscience.

I received my PhD in Statistics from Stanford University in 2022, supervised by Professor Trevor Hastie. Before that, I studied pure mathematics at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Moscow State University, and further developed my interest in machine learning and applied statistics through the Yandex School of Data Analysis.
