Hi! I’m Mengyu Li. I’m now a postdoctoral researcher at Tsinghua University (THU) advised by Prof. Jun S. Liu. I received my Ph.D. degree in Statistics from Renmin University of China (RUC) under the supervision of Prof. Cheng Meng in 2025. From November 2023 to May 2024, I was an exchange student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong advised by Prof. Xiaodan Fan. I received my Bachelor degree in Statistics from Beijing Normal University in 2020.

My research mainly focuses on optimal transport, statistical computing, and generative modeling. I am also interested in the applications of statistics and machine learning in solving significant scientific problems.
