I am Assistant Professor of Statistics in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Swarthmore College (on leave from Williams College 2024-2025). In Spring 2025, I will be teaching Stat011: Statistical Methods I. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Harvard in 2018 (advised by Jun S. Liu), and my B.S. in Probability and Statistics from Peking University, China in 2013.
My research focuses on the study and design of statistical methods for integrative data analysis, in particular, to address the challenges of increasing complexity and connectivity arising from “Big Data”. I’m interested in innovating statistical methods that efficiently integrate multi-source, multi-resolution information to solve real-life problems. Instances include tracking flu activities (and other infectious diseases) with Google search data and predicting cancer-targeting drugs with high-throughput multi-omics data.
