I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and the Department of Genetics at UNC-Chapel Hill, working with HCHS/SOL investigators Dr. Jianwen Cai and Dr. Daniela Sotres-Alvarez from UNC-Chapel Hill.

My research interests lie in developing novel statistical and machine learning methods that enable scalable and integrative analysis of large whole-genome/exome sequencing (WGS/WES) data and multi-omics data, meta-analysis of WGS/WES studies from ancestrally-diverse consortiums and biobanks, multiple phenotype analysis to identify pleiotropic genetic effects, and prioritization of putative causal genetic variants using functional annotation data to better understand the relationships among genomic variation, genome function, and phenotypes. I has also worked on methodological projects to develop statistical approaches for rare disease clinical trials and real-world evidence studies.
