Welcome! 

I am an Assistant Clinical Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Maryland, College Park and run the STAtistics for Renal Allograft and PaThology Outcomes Research (STARAPTOR) Lab. I particularly enjoy developing and applying statistical methodology to address challenges with renal histopathology and kidney transplantation data. Please reach me at jrub@umd.edu if you are interested in working with me as a trainee or collaborator. 

Note I can not support any teaching assistant, graders, or paid research assistants at this time. I can only support trainees who are willing to do research on a volunteer/unpaid basis as I do not currently have any research funds for trainees. Also the lab has been "popping off" as the kids say, and I may be at capacity for taking on trainees for right now, but you are still welcome to reach out and I'm happy to at least meet to discuss the feasibility of working together - perhaps you may be able to join an existing project/collaboration that one or more Starlings are currently working on.   

Wait...you don't do math for fun?!?

So like actually you do something besides math?

Like actually. 

I love seeking out wonderful coffee and food, playing badminton, watching and performing stand-up comedy as well as making puns. In addition to formerly being a member of the competitive Penn badminton team, I hold the following comedic and badminton accolades:

• It's Always Punny in Philadelphia #5: Pundemonium Finalist | February 2024

• Snowpeak DC Open MD D Consolation Champion | March 2025

• PhillyPinoy Badminton Team Tournament Division 2 (Intermediate Division) 1st Place | October 2024

Here is some photographic evidence of me in some non-academic habitats. Please note these pictures or any that you can find on my website may not reflect my current age at the time of reading this.

STARAPTOR Lab News!

• 8/29/25: Two new Starlings join the lab, Veronika and Alana! One Starling (Veronika) is the first with some time also spent working in Philadelphia and Alana is the first student in a class of mine to join the lab! Records being broken everywhere! 

• 8/24/25: Jeremy's oldest collaborative project from his grad school days, "Assessing the Quality of Deceased Donor Kidneys through Post-Transplant Survival Prediction Algorithms," was just accepted at the American Journal of Kidney Diseases! 

• 8/8/25: Jeremy's abstract "Predicting Delayed Graft Function Using Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Pathomics from Deceased Biopsy and Clinical Data" was selected for a poster presentation (SA-PO0015) at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2025! Sadly Jeremy can't be at his poster for presenting, but a collaborator will hopefully be in his place and go check it out! Collaborator Luís Rodrigues' work also based on the same co-first author paper as Jeremy's poster was accepted for an oral talk. Apparently only 1% of abstracts get accepted for an oral talk, wow! 

• 7/15/25: Jeremy publishes first-author paper in the Journal of Neuroimaging (https://doi.org/10.1111/jon.70071)! Congrats to myself, you know....because this website is mine...

• 6/6/25: STARAPTOR Lab welcomes its first three lab members: Huiqian from the University of Utah, as well as Connie and Lylybell from the University of South Florida with our first ever lab meeting!
