Lu Xia, Ph.D.

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Probability and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (courtesy) at Michigan State University. Before joining Michigan State University, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Biostatistics, University of Washington, working with Professors Ali Shojaie (Biostatistics) and Sina A. Gharib (Medicine). I earned my Ph.D. in Biostatistics at the University of Michigan, advised by Professors Bin Nan and Yi Li

My research interests lie broadly in developing and applying advanced statistical machine learning methods for problems arising from biomedical research to promote understandings of human diseases and precision medicine. Currently, my core methodological research focuses on: (i) statistical estimation and inference for high-dimensional models; (ii) transfer learning and data fusion; and (iii) integration of multi-omics data. I am also highly motivated to collaborate closely with other statisticians and biomedical scientists to tackle emerging problems in health sciences. Please feel free to email me if you would like to collaborate.

I am looking for talented and highly motivated graduate students to work with me. If you are interested in development and application of novel statistical and machine learning methods, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.
