Yize Zhao, PhD

I am a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics, Yale School of Public Health, Yale University. I am also affiliated with the Yale Department of Biomedical Informatics & Data Science, Yale Center for Analytical Sciences, Yale Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Yale Wu Tsai Institute,  Yale Center for Brain and Mind Health, and Yale Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

 

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 honored to be the recipient of the Thelma and Marvin Zelen Emerging Women Leaders in Data Science Award from the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). Additionally, I have received the Investigator Research Prize from the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and the Research Scholar Award from the Yale Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC). I serve as an Associate Editor for Biometrics and a standing member of the NIH Biodata Management and Analysis (BDMA) study section.
