Biography

My name is Jiyang Wen. I am currently a fifth year PhD student at the Department of Biostatistics, Johns Hopkins University. I am co-advised by Prof. Mei-Cheng Wang and Prof. Chen Hu.

I received my bachelor degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in July 2018, majoring in mathematics and applied mathematics. During my junior year at college, I went to the University of Michigan and worked on a research project with Dr. Gongjun Xu.
