Qiong Wu

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science at the University of Pittsburgh. I'm also a secondary faculty member of Pitt Department of Biomedical Informatics. Before Pitt, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, supervised by Dr. Yong Chen. I received my Ph.D. degree in Statistics from the University of Maryland under the supervision of Dr. Shuo Chen in 2021.
