Research Interests:
I am interested in all statistical problems arising from my collaboration in biomedical research and other fields. I am currently focusing on the development of new methods in the areas of survival analysis, analysis of high-dimensional brain image data, and analysis of longitudinal data with change-points, terminal events, and variables subject to limit of detection.
