I joined UNO in 2018 after my two-year postdoctoral training in biostatistics at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Before that time, my research focused on qualitative analysis of ordinary differential equations and I published more than 30 peer reviewed research papers in this field. Since 2015 I began to gain strong interests in applied and interdisciplinary subjects, such as, statistics, biostatistics, mathematical modeling, etc., and have published a few journal articles with my collaborators since then.

My current research areas include spatial statistics, count data modeling, longitudinal and survival analysis of clinical data, mathematical modeling in biology, etc.
