Ph.D. in Statistics
Tsinghua University
Haoyang Yu · 于浩洋
I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Tsinghua University, very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hanzhong Liu.
I obtained my B.S. degree in Mathematics and Physics (with a minor in Statistics) from Tsinghua University. My research interests include design-based causal inference and experimental design.
I am on the 2026–2027 job market.
