• What would you like us to know about you?

  I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Department of Human Genetics at University of California, Los Angeles. I am also a faculty member in the Interdepartmental Bioinformatics Ph.D. Program and a member in the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) Gene Regulation Research Program Area. Prior to joining UCLA in 2013, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Interdepartmental Group in Biostatistics at University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of Profs Peter J. Bickel and Haiyan Huang. I received my B.S. (summa cum laude) from the Department of Biological Sciences and Technology at Tsinghua University, China in 2007. My research is at the interface between statistics and biology. My primary research interest lies in developing new statistical methods for understanding biological questions, especially those related to large-scale genomic and transcriptomic data. My research activities have been focusing on identifying, formulating, and resolving important, yet not previously addressed statistical questions arising from the frontiers of biology. The specific topics I have examined include: Bioinformatics: Modeling next-generation RNA sequencing data for identifying and quantifying full-length mRNA transcripts Identification of gene-gene and protein-DNA relationships using diverse genomic data Comparison of developmental time courses of different species using transcriptomic data. Statistics: Measure of dependence Hierarchical modeling for integrating multiple replicate samples Regularized regression
