About me

Hi, I’m Jifan! I’m a third-year PhD student of Statistics and Data Science at Northwestern University. I’m advised by Prof. Miklos Racz. I received my B.S. in Mathmatics from Tsinghua University in 2021.

Research Interest

I have a broad interest in random graph theory, including community detection, local neighbourhoods recovery, etc. I study information-theoretic thresholds for community recovery and local neighbourhoods isomorphism problems and also design algorithms for graph matching and labelling.
