I finished my PhD degree at the Medical University of South Carolina, 2009. My dissertation was on The Two Stage Clonal Expansion Models of Carcinogenesis for Acute, Continuous, and Multiple Exposures with Applications to Radiation. It is essentially a survival model of cancer. During my PhD study, I also developed a new testing procedure allows separate control of type I and II errors, and an interval to distinguish between the negative test and positive test, instead of single value of critical value. The procedure may be used to clinical trials, quality control and other areas.

I began my position here at SSG in June, 2009. I am currently working with Dr. Nianjun Liu on Genome Wide Haplotype Association Analysis. In the future I hope to work on methodological area and applied genetic information in clinical and epidemiological studies, along with other knowledge that I have already learned.
