Greetings! I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan, advised by Professor Kevin He. I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Tianjin University in 2019, and my M.S. in Biostatistics from University of Michigan in 2021.
My research interests primarily focus on data integration, survival analysis, and statistical learning with applications in risk prediction, precision medicine, kidney transplantation, diabetes prevention, and cancer research. Details can be found here.
