BIOGRAPHY
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biostatistics and a core member at the Center for Computational Molecular Biology at Brown University. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Biostatistics at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (Advisor: Dr. Xiang Zhou). Previously, I obtained my Bachelor's degree from Nankai University, China. My recent research interests focus on developing efficient statistical learning methods to address a variety of biological problems and computational challenges in genomics and genetics, particularly single-cell RNA-sequencing, and spatially resolved transcriptomics. In addition to my methodological research, I also work on genetic risk prediction analysis for common health exposure traits in large biobanks such as UK Biobank, and the Michigan Genomics Initiative (MGI).
