About Me

Here is Siming Deng (Larry Deng).
I am a graduate student in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) at the Penn Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining Penn, I gained valuable research experiences as a Research Assistant at Shenzhen University under the supervision of Dr. Jun Zhang. My work focused on Nonparametric Statistics, Distortion Measurement Error Models, and Large Sample Theory. I developed and analyzed advanced statistical methods, conducted large-scale simulations, and applied these techniques to real-world datasets, resulting in five SCI publications.

Research Interests
- Machine Learning
- Nonparametric Statistics
My current research focuses on addressing critical challenges in measurement error modeling and unobservable variable estimation, particularly in multiplicative distortion frameworks. Through theoretical advancements in calibration methods and simulation optimization, I have contributed to improving the accuracy of correlation coefficient estimation under complex industrial scenarios.
