Research

My research consists of 2 parts: statistical methodology and interdisciplinary statistical research. My statistical methodology work has focused on survival models with free-knot splines, applications of empirical likelihood method, modeling skewed and heavy-tailed data, and exchangeable models. My interdisciplinary statistical research has generated 3 funded projects, and primarily focused on using statistical methods to study prostate cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes as well as collaborations with industry.
