Biographical Statement

As an early-career biostatistician, I look forward to the opportunities to learn and contribute to the design and analysis of studies in various areas of medicine. At Henry Ford Health, I have been involved in study design and analysis in neuroscience, dermatology, and pulmonary medicine. My recent research experiences focus on (1) proposing novel statistical distributions to model survival data, (2) predicting health outcomes using machine learning methods, (3) quantitatively assessing the benefit-risk profile of drugs in clinical trials, and (4) survey data analysis. During my PhD studies, I also gained experience teaching Introduction to Statistics to students from diverse academic backgrounds. I am eager to collaborate with researchers to advance studies that make meaningful impact on patient care and public health.
