Research Interest

I have broad interests in biostatistics, particularly in applying statistical methods in research of complex human diseases and development of drugs.

I have been working with Prof. Shili Lin since 2007.

Education

Prior to joining OSU, I received my B.S. in Biological Science from the Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, P. R. China, in 2005.

Internships

• Amgen Research and Development

  Worked with Lifen Zhou, Grace Park, Huei Wang and Yun Chon in the Global Biostatistics and Epidemiology (GBE) department of Amgen Inc. in summer 2009. The project was "Analyzing Radiographic Outcomes from Longitudinal Rheumatoid Arthritis Trials". (Abstract)

• Merck Research Laboratories
  

  Worked with Drs. Xiaoming Li and Frank Liu in the late stage statistics group of the Biostatistics and Research Decision Sciences (BARDS) department within Merck Research Laboratories in summer 2008. The project was "Analysis of Zero-Inflated Count Data from Longitudinal Trials with Dropouts". (Abstract)
