Assistant Professor of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics

Member of the Institute for Heart and Brain Health starting from Sep 2023.

Before I came to UMich, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Dr. Mike Snyder’s lab at Stanford, leading data analysis and integration for several projects, including GTEx, wearable COVID project, ENCODE, and HuBMAP.  I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics with Specialization in Statistics from the  University of California, San Diego (under advisor: Dr. Ery Arias-Castro). I also undertook about one-year postdoctoral training in privacy protection in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at UCSD (under advisor: Dr. Xiaoqian Jiang).

My overall research interest is developing  novel computational and statistical methods to integrate diverse biomedical data for early detection, intervention, and prevention of diseases.
