Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, mentored by Professor Sharon-Lise Normand. Before that, I obtained my PhD in biostatistics at Harvard University working with Professor Tianxi Cai. My research focuses on developing novel statistical and machine learning methods for real-world data. At Cambridge, I completed an MPhil in healthcare operations and examined the drivers of the weekend mortality effect in NHS emergency departments. Before that, I was part of the inaugural class of Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, completing a MA in global affairs. Previously, I focused my undergraduate studies in biostatistics and infectious diseases at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. I co-lead an NIH-funded randomized controlled trial to improve sexual health delivery in China and studied the efficacy of the RTS,S malaria vaccine among children in Malawi. In the future, I aim to collaborate with global institutions to advance the field of biostatistics and health policy and develop tools to improve healthcare delivery.
