• I am an Assitant Professor at School of Mathematics and Statistics at Beijing Institute of Technology

• Before, I was a Postdoc student of Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology hosted by Prof. Leonid Mytnik.

• I got my Ph.D. at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Yan-Xia Ren.

• I also visited Prof. Renming Song as a joint Ph.D. student at Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

• I got my B.S. at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University.

• My research interest is probability theory, with a focus on models related to stochastic heat equations.

   • There is a mistake when we cite H. Kesten, P. Ney and F. Spitzer’s 1966 paper: we can not obtain (1.2) when $\sigma =\mathrm{\infty }$$\sigma = \infty$. This does not affect the other part of the paper.
