About
I am an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics. I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Nilanjan Chatterjee’s group at the Department of Biostatistics, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2019 - 2022. I received my Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2019 under the supervision of Drs. Joeseph S. Koopmeiners and Lin Zhang. Before that I received my Bachelor’s degree in statistics from the School for the Gifted Young, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
My research interests focus on developing statistical and computational methods to address cutting-edge problems in public health and medicine by integrating large-scale, multi-source datasets. Within this scope, my research involves health equity in disease risk prediction, statistical genetics, Bayesian hierarchical models for high-dimensional, complex-structured data, and statistical data integration.
In February 2022, I received an NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) as a Principal Investigator for multi-ethnic disease risk prediction integrating multi-source information on genetic and other risk factors.
