I am Associate Professor of Statistics in the Department of Statistics at Williams College (on leave from Swarthmore College). In Fall 2026, I will be teaching STAT201: Statistics and Data Analysis and Stat360: Statistical Inference. 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.
