Overview

Dr. Jiang is an assistant professor in biostatistics in the University of California, San Francisco. She has been an assistant professor in statistics for three years in the University of Hong Kong. Her research interest lies in machine learning methods, high dimensional models, functional data analysis and their applications in analyzing neurological, image, genetics data, and in designing adaptive randomization clinical trials. Her efforts yield high quality statistical and computational publications, which focus on addressing practical problems in the medical domain. In addition, she has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses on the foundations of statistics and their applications in medical diagnosis, medical decision making, classification, prognostic prediction, and clinical trials. Furthermore, she has involved in establishing Master of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence program in the University of Hong Kong. As a researcher with solid statistical background, she is able to provide rigorous data driven tools to analyze wide range of biomedical data.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
