We are delighted to welcome seven new students to our master’s degree program this fall.
Camila Carmona earned associate degrees in mathematics, economics, and philosophy at Santa Rosa Junior College, followed by bachelor’s degrees in statistics and philosophy at Sonoma State University. Carmona’s first biostatistics project was about the impact of remote instruction on student learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her research interests include Alzheimer’s disease, statistical genetics, and the impact of environmental health on human health.
Xuexin Li earned her BA in statistics and computer science at Boston University. Her current research interests include theoretical analysis across mathematics and statistics, and algorithm analysis with applications in biology, with the overall goal of advancing methodologies to improve human health. Her outside interests include culinary activities (such as baking, cooking, and exploring restaurants), solving puzzles, and playing open-world video games.
Yiqing Pan is a magna cum laude graduate of Mount Holyoke, with a BA in statistics after completing projects on asthma and drug usage, plus experience as a pharmaceutical intern in Shanghai. She is strongly interested in “capturing the key features of real-world data and producing unbiased interpretations. Her hobbies include drawing and photography; her portfolio includes Asian Student Association decorations and scientific graphics for posters and papers.
Zongyue Teng double-majored in mathematical statistics and psychology at Wake Forest University. Teng writes: “My experience with statistical analyses makes me interested in using and learning more statistical techniques to solve real-world problems. My background in psychology further enhances my interest in biostatistics, where I can use my skills and knowledge to help more people.”
Xin Wu earned her bachelor’s degree in statistics at East China Normal University. Research-wise, her focus is on experimental design, genomics and real-world evidence. Her hobbies include listening to music (particularly J-pop and rock), photography, and learning to play the electric guitar.
Haozheng Xu earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics and business analytics (with a data science concentration) at William and Mary. He is excited about combining his pure mathematical background with applied biostatistics knowledge to build a well-rounded skillset, and open to different research possibilities. His hobbies include playing basketball, working out, and traveling.
Seth Young earned his bachelor’s degree in statistics at the University of North Carolina. His research interests currently include network analysis, Bayesian statistics, machine learning, clinical trials, statistical modeling, and causal inference. His hobbies include hiking and reading.
