I am a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics, Yale School of Public Health, Yale University.

 

My methodology research focuses on the development of statistical and machine learning methods to analyze large-scale complex data (neuroimaging, -omics, EHRs), Bayesian methods, feature selection, predictive modeling, data integration, missing data and network analysis. My most recent research agenda includes analytical method development and applications on brain network analyses, multimodal imaging modeling, imaging genetics, and the integration of biomedical data with EHR data. I have strong interests in subject matter fields including aging, mental health and psychiatry. My research has been supported by multiple NIH and foundation grants with me as the principal investigator or co-investigator. I am a recipient of the Research Scholar Award of Yale ADRC and the Investigator Research Prize of YSPH.
