I am currently a postdoc research fellow at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center supervised by Dr. Li Hsu.
Before joining Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, I worked with Dr. Rhonda Rosychuk at the University of Alberta and Dr. Joan Hu at Simon Fraser University in Canada. I earned my PhD in statistics from the Department of Statistics at Simon Fraser University, under the supervision of Dr. Joan Hu and Dr. John Braun.
I received my Bachelor Degree in Computing Science from Dual Degree Program of Zhejiang University in China and Simon Fraser University in Canada. I joined the Department of Statistics and got my MS.c degree under the supervision of Dr. Joan Hu.
I am interested in developing statistical methods for cancer risk prediction analyzing complex data including missing data, censored lifetime data and spatio-temporal data.
