Bio: I came to Canada in 2011 for my undergraduate study in Economics at King's University College, and I started my graduate study at the University of Waterloo 2 years later. My research has been focusing on functional data analysis. I am interested in motivating the applications of functional data in economics and developing methodologies of its analysis. My current work centers on generalizing discrete methods for econometric analysis to continuous analysis, assuming continuity or smoothness in the underlying processes.
