I will be joining the Department of Statistics at University of Michigan in the Fall. 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. Prior to this, I obtained my PhD degree in the Department of Biostatistics at University of Washington, under the supervision of Daniela Witten.
I am interested in developing statistical machine learning methods for analyzing high-dimensional data sets arising from genomics, neuroscience, and other areas of biology. I develop multivariate statistical methods such as probabilistic graphical models, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, and dimension reduction to uncover patterns from massive data set. Recently, I also work on topics related to robust statistics, non-convex optimization, and data integration from multiple sources. |
