Hello!
I am a PhD student in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University. Prior to Duke, I received my MS in Statistics at the University of Washington and BEng in Industrial Engineering at Tsinghua University.
My primary research interest lies in the design and analysis of clinical trials. I am also interested in intergrating clinical trials with other fields, including causal inference and machine learning, to improve current methods in clinical trial research. I am particularly motivated by the applied areas that significantly affect marginalized communities, such as HIV and social stigma.
