About Me

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Clemson University. Prior to Clemson I was a Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI) / Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) postdoctoral fellow at the University of Victoria (UVic) , Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium and School of Earth and Ocean Sciences working with Dr. Francis Zwiers and Prof. Adam Monahan. Prior to joining UVic, I was a SAMSI/UNC postdoc under the supervision of Prof. Richard Smith. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Purdue University in August 2017 where I was advised by Prof. Hao Zhang.

During my Ph.D. studies I was actively involved in the Research Network for Statistical Methods for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (STATMOS) and the Center for Robust Decisionmaking on Climate and Energy Policy (RDCEP), where I work with Michael Stein, Elisabeth Moyer at the University of Chicago, and Doug Nychka at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Before coming to Purdue, I received a Master degree in Statistics at University of Akron and a Bachelors degree in Mechanical engineering at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.

My research interests include statistics of extremes; spatio-temporal statistics; design and analysis of computer experiments; time-frequency analysis; multiscale statistical modeling; spatial point processes; environmental applications; high-frequency physiological data analysis.
