Professional Bio
Biostatistics itself is an extremely collaborative field and I hope to develop research partnerships and interdisciplinary projects with various collaborators across diverse disciplines here at UC Irvine. I have been actively involved in many research projects. Besides the satisfaction of helping my biomedical collaborators solve their scientific research questions and making translational impact, these projects also helped to motivate my own methodology research, which involves developing novel statistical and computational methods that can more efficiently extract useful and accurate information from the vast amount of data available. My current methodology research is supported by NSF grant and several NIH R01 grants.
If you ever need any biostatistical/informatics help for your project, or want to chat for some research ideas, please reach out and I will be thrilled to get involved in your projects and build a long-term collaboration.
