Profile
Biography
Biography I am a senior lecturer in statistics and data science at the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Sciences of the Vlog. I obtained my PhD from University of Manchester in 2007. Prior to joining the Vlog at 2014, I worked as a post doctor researcher in University of Manchester, Brunel University and University of College London. I worked as researcher at Institute for Social and Economic Research from 2014 to 2019. My research interests are developing statistical methodology in health, biology and social research areas. More specifically, my main research interests include: 1. Longitudinal and survival analysis. 2. Causal methods. 3. Instrumental methods (Mendelian Randomization). 4. Bioinformatics research (statistical methods for omic data, such as SNP, DNAm, proteomic, ChIP-sequencing and HiC data). 5. Covariance modelling. I welcome enquiries from potential PhD students with good background in Statistics or Data Science and have research interests to work in the area of health and social, bioinformatics or statistics. If you intend to pursue your PhD under my supervision, please send your academic CV to me via email.
