Hello! I'm Qiong (pronounced similarly to Chiong if that helps!). Welcome to my website!

I am currently an assistant professor in the Institute of Statistics and Big Data, Renmin University of China. As a statistician by training, I entered the exciting world of AI, exploring how data and algorithms can unravel complex stories.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Statistics (2022) and M.Sc. (2017) in Statistics from the University of British Columbia, advised by Professor Jiahua Chen. Before that, I completed my B.Sc. in Statistics (2015) from the School of the Gifted Young (SCGY), University of Science and Technology of China.

My research focuses on federated/distributed learning—particularly under mixture models—and applications of cutting-edge deep learning techniques. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems and believe data is the ultimate storyteller. Let’s chat about stats, AI, or the hidden narratives in your dataset!
