I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics & Actuarial Science at the University of Hong Kong. I received my PhD in Biostatistics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2023, co-advised by Drs. Danyu Lin and Donglin Zeng. Before that, I graduated with a BS in Statistics from the University of Science & Technology of China in 2018.

Research Interests

My primary research interests lie in survival analysis and semiparametric inference. Recent work includes semiparametric regression analysis of interval-censored multi-state data, evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine/treatment effectiveness, joint modeling of multi-state and longitudinal data, and transfer learning for survival analysis.

In addition, I am broadly interested in statistical applications to Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, mental disorders, and oral diseases.

Openings

🚩 I have several PhD positions. Please email me your CV and transcript if you are interested. Applicants with strong mathematical background and computational skills are preferred. Please understand that due to the high volume of inquiries, I may not be able to respond to each email individually.
🚩 I have one Postdoc position. Please email me your CV if you are interested. Applicants from all research areas, with at least one first-authored statistical paper published or under revision, will be given full consideration.
