Welcome to my homepage!

I am a postdoctoral associate under the supervision of Dr. Lei Liu at the Institute for Informatics & Division of Biostatistics at Washington University in St. Louis. I received my doctoral degree in May 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Jianguo (Tony) Sun at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Biostatistics and data science are the forefront of modern medical research, reshaping our understanding of disease, treatment developments, and patient care. As a dedicated researcher in this field, I am driven by the profound impact of statistical methodologies and data-driven research that can advance healthcare and patient well-being. I have broad research interests in biostatistics and data science, including survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis, and deep learning. My research has been applied in analyzing temporally and spatially correlated pointwise visual field data, clustered kidney transplantation data, interval-censored failure time data with missing covariates, and joint models of multi-outcome data. Specific topics of interest include developing neural network for clustered survival outcomes, neural network for dynamic prediction, analysis of interval-censored failure time data with missing covariates, and joint modeling of longitudinal and survival outcomes.

Besides work, I enjoy hiking and reading. The profile photo was taken at a 7,800 feet altitude hiking trail in Mammoth Lakes, California.
