Assistant Professor, Department of Statistics

University of Kentucky

I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics from Rice University. My professional journey includes serving as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at TikTok, where I specialized in predictive modeling, video understanding, and anomaly detection. Additionally, I contributed as a Research Scientist at Petuum Inc., founded by Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on machine learning and medical imaging. I have also held a significant role as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where I delved into statistical modeling on omics data.

My research interests encompass methodological studies for machine learning, statistical computing, graphical models, deep learning, and Bayesian inference, with a specific focus on machine intelligence, precision medicine, and biomarker detection in imaging genomics.
