I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University, jointly advised by Dr. Jiayi (Jessie) Tong and Dr. Elizabeth A. Stuart.

Interests

My primary research interests focus on real-world evidence synthesis, causal inference, and federated learning. Specifically, I have developed efficient and lossless distributed algorithms for multivariate longitudinal healthcare data across institutions while preserving patient privacy.

Beyond methodology, I am passionate about biostatistics education and have served as the lead organizer for the Biostatistics Education & Student Training (BEST) Seminar and the Johns Hopkins Causal Inference Working Group.
