Summary
My research interest in statistical methodology includes non-/semi-parametric modeling, longitudinal data, mixed models, high-dimensional regression and graphical models. I have actively collaborated with health researchers in various fields, primarily in the areas of sleep health, kidney health, cardiovascular diseases and health economics.
