Background

Ph.D., Statistics, 2004, Indiana University  Bloomington (IUB), Indiana.

Dissertation: "Nonparametric Statistical Techniques in Bioassay", Advisor: Rabi Bhattacharya.

M.S., Computational Mathematics, Xian Jiaotong University, Shaanxi, China.
B.S., Computational Mathematics, Xian Jiaotong University, Shaanxi, China.

I joined the Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics in July 2006 as an Assistant Professor.
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Biostatistics and Applied Mathematics at University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center under the tutelage of Dr. J. Jack Lee, and focused on investigating drug interaction for combination therapy. Currently, I am looking for collaborators here in biomedical research at the University of Louisville.

Research Interests
