Welcome to my homepage!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biostatistics at the University at Buffalo, advised by Saptarshi Chakraborty. My primary research focuses on modeling post-marketing data for signal detection using Bayesian shrinkage methods to enhance pharmacovigilance practices. Additionally, I serve as a research assistant in the Department of Cancer Prevention & Control at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, where I primarily provide statistical support for immunology research. Before coming to the U.S., I was a Ph.D. student in Statistics at National Chiao Tung University, working with Weijing Wang. I earned my Master’s degree in Statistics from National Central University under the supervision of Takeshi Emura. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor’s degree at Fu Jen Catholic University, where I was supervised by Juei-Chao Chen.
Beyond my primary research, I have broader interests in:
- Copula modeling for various data types
- Multiplicity control for correlated endpoints
- Survival analysis of recurrent events and semi-competing risks data
- Machine learning methods for multiclass classification
I welcome collaborations on these and related topics and am open to discussing and reviewing papers.
