I am currently an assistant professor at the Department of Statistics at University of Michigan. Previously, I was an assistant professor at the School of Statistics at University of Minnesota, and a postdoctoral research associate supervised by Han Liu and Tong Zhang. I joined the University of Washington in 2011 for my PhD degree, under the supervision of Daniela Witten. I spent my childhood in Penang, Malaysia.
I am a statistician working on statistical machine learning methods for analyzing complex data sets. I develop multivariate statistical methods such as probabilistic graphical models, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, and dimension reduction to uncover patterns from massive data set. I also work on topics related to robust statistics, quantile regression, non-convex optimization, and data integration from multiple sources. More recently, I am involved in applying instrumental variable to models with unmeasured confounders. We organize the Modern Statistical and Machine Learning Methods for Big Data Workshop that takes place in Michigan Ann Arbor at October 21-22, 2022. Check out the details here! |
