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 Department of Biostatistics at University of Washington in 2011 for my PhD degree, under the supervision of Daniela Witten.
I am an applied statistician working on statistical machine learning methods for analyzing complex biomedical 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. Recently, I also work on topics related to robust statistics, non-convex optimization, and data integration from multiple sources. . |
