Hello! I'm a third-year PhD student in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, working with Professors Michael Kearns, Aaron Roth, and Zhimei Ren.

In summer 2026, I was an Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon, where I worked on post-training for reasoning models and calibrated prediction for decision making.

I received my B.S. in Mathematics from Tsinghua University and my M.S. in Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins University.

My first name is pronounced Joe-Yow, and I also go by Joe.
