About Me

I am currently working as an assistant professor of statistics on the tenure track in the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science at the University of Idaho since August 2023. Following the completion of my doctorate in mathematics with a concentration in statistics in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Clemson University in August 2021, I held a postdoctoral position in the Department of Biostatistics at Boston University.
My current primary research interests include, but are not limited to, graph neural networks, missing data imputation, deep learning, machine learning, big data analytics, multilevel data analysis, and generalized distributions, with applications in biology, medicine, epidemiology, climate, and environmental preservation. I have engaged in both theoretical and methodological research endeavors and actively contributed to collaborative research projects.

Openings

• Postdoctoral Fellow Openings: Interested candidates are encouraged to email their CV, cover letter, and contact information of three references to Dr. Tiantian Yang at tyang@uidaho.edu. We prefer highly motivated candidates with a PhD degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Computer Science, Biostatistics, or a related quantatitative field. Strong theoretical training in statistics/mathematics and computing skills (R and Python) are desired. Ideal candidates should have experiences in at least one of the following areas: (1) statistical theory and methods development, (2) high-dimensional data analysis, (3) machine learning or deep learning.
• If you are an undergraduate or graduate student seeking a thesis advisor, please email me your research interests and include your CV. However, if you are looking for an RA position, I am afraid that I probably couldn't offer one at this time. Please reach out to our math&stat main office at mathstat@uidaho.edu for information on TA opportunities.
