    My research revolves around methodological development in omics data modeling, and I am interested in: 1) designing novel statistical learning tools for integration of multiple heterogeneous sources and/or types of biomedical data, such as bulk, single cell and spatial -omics data; 2) detecting the latent structures of high dimensional biomedical data; 3) studying the tissue microenvironment and interactions of its cell components.
