I am currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah (the U), and a member of the Cancer Biostatistics Shared Resources at the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI).
Before joining the U and HCI, I was a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Liangliang Zhang at Case Western Reserve University. I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics from Western Michigan University in 2023, an M.S. in Statistics from West Virginia University in 2019, and a B.A. in Economic Journalism from the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
