Research Interest
My group operates at the intersection of Statistics, Computational Biology and Data Science, with a primary focus on: (i) functional data analysis, (ii) biomedical big data analysis, (iii) statistical machine learning, and (iv) AI-driven methodology. We aim to develop rigorous statistical and AI methods that address fundamental challenges in complex data analysis, integrating practical solutions with theoretical guarantees.
