Biography
I’m a statistician who plays with data every day. I love the uncertainty in statistical inference and the beauty of mathematical modeling. Right after completing my PhD degree in statistics, I joined Denison University. I love interdisciplinary research, especially in healthcare and biomedical sciences. I’m a dog person with a cat named Caviar.
Degree(s)
B.S. Statistics, Beijing Normal University; M.S and Ph.D. Statistics, University of Connecticut
Learning & Teaching
Courses
- DA 101
- MATH/DA 220
Research
I work on applied probability and statistics with a particular interest on sequential analysis.
Details
My current research interests include multivariate analysis, sequential analysis, change point detection, and sample size determination. I used to work on large population-based public health datasets and conduct secondary analyses to estimate the prevalence of and associations between risk factors, behaviors, disease states, and other health-related outcomes.
