Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Johns Hopkins University, working with Professor Yanxun Xu. My research interests lie in developing Bayesian statistical theory and methods for a broad range of problems, including Bayesian nonparametrics, dynamic treatment regimes, reinforcement learning, causal discovery, graphical models, and longitudinal data analysis. I also conduct interdisciplinary research by developing novel Bayesian methods for various applications, including electronic health/medical record data, precision medicine in HIV, early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, and proportional reasoning in cognitive science.
