About me
I am an Assistant Professor with the Artificial Intelligence Initiative in the Department of Biostatistics, University of Florida. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018. After graduation, I briefly worked as a Data Scientist at Google. Then, I joined Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a post-doctoral research fellow working on biostatistics methodology and applications.
My research topics focus on treatment recommendations based on patient-level information, identifying signals from high-dimensional data, and other novel machine learning techniques with applications to biomarker identification, cancer surveillance, and digital health. My research goal is to realize data-driven healthcare decision-making through innovative methods combining statistical and machine learning techniques.
