Research Interests
Statistical methods and applications, with emphasis on empirical likelihood, change-point analysis, and modeling of skewed and heavy-tailed data. Active research areas include survival analysis, predictive modeling, and interpretable machine learning. Recent projects explore generative AI systems (e.g., LLMs and CLIP) for decision support, quality control, and education. Broadly, I am interested in interdisciplinary studies that enhance daily life and well-being, with applications in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and public policy.
