I am Kai Chen, a first-year PhD student at University of Virginia, advised by Dr. Tianhao Wang. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Zhejiang University, and earned a double major in Finance. I received my Master’s degree in Statistics with Data Science from the University of Edinburgh. Before starting my PhD studies, I worked as a Data Analyst at ByteDance.
My research interest includes differential privacy, and its application in generative model. I actively welcome any collaborators. If you are interested in differential privacy and its applications in data generation, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
