I am currently an associate professor at the Department of Statistics at University of Michigan.  

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!
