About me
Welcome to my homepage! I am currently a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the School of Public Health, Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).
Before joining IUB, I earned my Ph.D. degree in 2023 from the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, supervised by Prof. Robert H. Lyles and Prof. Lance A. Waller. Following my Ph.D., I completed two years of postdoctoral training at the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health, working with Prof. Molin Wang, and collaborated with Prof. Donna Spiegelman from the Yale School of Public Health.
Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Yuan Longping honor program offered by Hanhong College at Southwest University, Chongqing, China, where I studied under the guidance of Prof. Xianning Liu, and my Master’s degree in Statistics from the University of Rochester, where I was advised by Prof. Xin Tu.
My research centers on correcting misclassification and measurement error in disease surveillance research, cancer epidemiology and environmental health, leveraging electronic health record (EHR) and cutting-edge study and sampling design to advance epidemiological methods. I also collaborate closely with professions across various fields, including epidemiologists, physicians, economists, public health scientists, providing essential statistical expertise and advancing our shared goal of improving public health.
