Teaching Interests
My teaching interests include biostatistics, data science, and computational methods. I am particularly interested in courses involving statistical computing (R, Python, and Linux), linear regression models, and omics ata analysis. I strive to integrate real-world biomedical applications and reproducible research practices into teaching to enhance students’ analytical and problem-solving skills.

Research Interests
My research focuses on developing statistical and computational methodologies for bioinformatics and omics data integration. I am especially interested in circadian and differential circadian analyses, Bayesian hierarchical models, and machine learning for high-dimensional data. I collaborate on projects related to cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and cardiovascular disorders, aiming to translate data-driven insights into improved understanding of disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.
