Welcome to Fan’s webpage!

I am a tenure-track assistant professor in Biostatistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (started January 2024). Previously I was a postdoctoral research fellow at University of California - Los Angeles, working with Dr. Marc Suchard to develop Bayesian statistical methods for analyzing large-scale observational health data. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Statistics from Duke University under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Volfovsky in Fall 2021.

My research interests include:

• Bayesian statistics and computation for emerging and complex data
• Stochastic processes and dynamic models
• Health data science and quantitative social science

Please visit the Research page for some of my methods research and collaborative work.
