Ying Cui

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford Universiry. I received my Ph.D. in Biostatistics at Emory University. Prior to Emory, I received my B.S. in Statistics from Nankai University. 

My research, located at the intersection of biomedical data science and statistics, is dedicated to enhancing the integration of statistical insights and data science innovations in biomedical research. I have a broad interest in developing innovative statistical methods and easy-to-use computational tools to understand complex associations using nonparametric and semiparametric methods, with recent work exploring their intersections with machine learning and causal inference to advance precision health. I have also been involved in various collaborative researches in multiple domains, including clinical trials and large language models (LLMs).
