Expertise

Research Interests:

  • Statistical machine learning for high dimensional data
  • Bayesian sparse learning and its applications in cancer genomics
  • High/Ultra-high dimensional robust variable selections
  • Integrative analysis of cancer genomics data from multiple platforms
  • Large scale (convex and non-convex) optimizations in statistical genomics and bioinformatics
  • Adaptive Bayesian prediction of patient recruitment in clinical trials

My research is to develop novel and efficient statistical machine learning methods for the integrative analysis of multiple types of cancer genomic data, in order to better elucidate cancer etiology and prognosis.
