Hello there! I am a PhD student in Statistics at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany, currently in the final year of my program.

My research interests span nonparametric statistics and statistical machine learning. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wolfgang Karl Härdle.

Currently thinking about model distillation.
